The 61 pages that link to Mohs scale, each with the reason it gives.

• UlexiteRelated: Ulexite is soft, making scratch resistance one practical clue in mineral identification.

• CupriteRelated: Cuprite’s Mohs hardness is about 3.5 to 4.

• HauyneRelated: Hauyne’s modest hardness helps explain why cut stones require careful handling.

• StauroliteRelated: Staurolite’s hardness helps distinguish it from other minerals in metamorphic rocks.

• WollastoniteRelated: Its hardness of about 4.5–5 provides a practical property for identifying wollastonite.

• ErythriteRelated: Erythrite’s low hardness helps distinguish it during specimen identification and handling.

• GreenockiteRelated: Greenockite’s low hardness helps distinguish it during mineral identification.

• BaryteRelated: Baryte’s hardness of about 3 to 3.5 helps distinguish it from denser, harder minerals.

• History of mineralogyRelated: Friedrich Mohs’s practical test exemplifies field methods that made identification repeatable.

• Mechanical & acoustical propertiesRelated: Scratch resistance is a practical surface property for mineral identification and use.

• TanzaniteRelated: Zoisite’s hardness of about 6 to 7 affects tanzanite’s durability in jewelry.
