Crystal Hardness
The Hardness measure of crystals is based upon a relative scale called the "Mohs" scale and varies in value from 1 softest (Talc) to 10 hardest (Diamond).
Quartz which has a Mohs hardness of 7 is twice as hard as Orthoclase with a hardness of 6.
Here are some examples of the Mohs Scale......
| Crystal | Mohs Hardness | |
