Mohs Scale of Hardness Charts

The Mohs Scale of Hardness Chart is used to measure and compare the hardness of different minerals. It assigns a numerical value to each mineral, ranging from 1 (the softest) to 10 (the hardest), based on its ability to resist scratching by other minerals. The chart provides a standardized system for determining the relative hardness of minerals, which is important in many fields such as geology, mining, and material science. It helps scientists and professionals identify minerals, assess their durability, and make informed decisions about their use in various applications.
