Home / Jewellery Glossary / Mohs scale

Mohs scale:The Mohs scale is a qualitative ordinal scale that characterizes the hardness of minerals. It was created in 1812 by German mineralogist Friedrich Mohs and is one of the most commonly used systems for classifying the hardness of materials. The scale is based on the ability of one material to scratch another, with the softest materials being scratched by all others and the hardest materials being able to scratch all others.
