Moh's scale is a scale of relative hardness of material and minerals. The scale goes from 1 to 10, 1 being the easiest to scratch and 10 being the hardest ( Talc-1; Diamond-10)
Topaz is number 8 on the Mohs scale.
The softest material in the mohs scale is talc
The hardness of Limonite is 4 t0 5.5 on the mohs hardness scale.
He originally came up with the scale when classifying a private collection. He classified them by their physical characteristics rather than their chemical composition, using their relative hardness.
The fourth mineral on Mohs' Scale of Hardness is fluorite. It has a hardness of 4 on the scale.

The Mohs scale is used to measure the hardness of minerals.
Scientists use the hardness test, and more specifically Mohs Hardness Scale, named after a Freidrich Mohs, a German mineralogist. Mohs Hardness Scale test can scale from 1 to 10, where 1 is softest and 10 is hardest.
This scale is correctly called the Mohs scale. Scientists use this scale to measure a rock's hardness or softness. They can discover how hard a mineral or rocks is and drill in to it and find out more about it.
the hardness of minerals.
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.
Hardness, how easily it can be scratched
This scale was proposed by the Austrian geologist Friderich Mohs.

Diatomite has a hardness of around 5.5 on the Mohs scale of hardness.
