The Mohs hardness scale is a qualitative scale used to measure the hardness of minerals based on their ability to scratch one another. Developed by mineralogist Friedrich Mohs in 1812, it ranges from 1 to 10, with talc ranked as the softest (1) and diamond as the hardest (10). Each mineral can scratch those below it on the scale, providing a simple method for identifying and comparing mineral hardness. This scale is widely used in geology and mineralogy.
