Generation

# Mineral Hardness and the Mohs Scale **Mineral hardness** is a mineral's resistance to being scratched. The **Mohs scale** ranks minerals from 1 (talc, softest) to 10 (diamond, hardest), where each mineral can scratch those below it but not those above it. This matters because hardness helps identify unknown minerals in the field, determines practical applications (e.g., whether a mineral can be used as an abrasive or gemstone), and indicates how well a material will resist wear in everyday use.
