What do scientists use to determine mineral hardness?

Scientists use the Mohs scale of mineral hardness to determine the relative hardness of minerals. This scale ranks minerals from 1 (softest) to 10 (hardest) based on their ability to scratch or be scratched by other minerals. By performing a scratch test, scientists can identify a mineral's hardness by comparing it to known minerals on the Mohs scale.
