AIGS Hardness Level


Hardness is the power a mineral has to resist scratching (abrasion)


In 1812 the Mohs scale of mineral hardness was devised by the German mineralogist Frederich Mohs (1773 - 1839), who selected the ten minerals because they were common or readily available. the scale is not a linear scale, but somewhat arbitrary.
