  2. Quartz - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz

    Quartz is, therefore, classified structurally as a framework silicate mineral and compositionally as an oxide mineral. Quartz is the second most abundant mineral in Earth's continental crust, behind feldspar. [10] Quartz exists in two forms, the normal α-quartz and the high-temperature β-quartz, both of which are chiral. The transformation ...

    A comprehensive Wikipedia data page detailing the hardness levels of various elements.

  4. Mohs scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohs_scale

    The Mohs scale (/ moʊz / MOHZ) of mineral hardness is a qualitative ordinal scale, from 1 to 10, characterizing scratch resistance of minerals through the ability of harder material to scratch softer material. The scale was introduced in 1812 by the German geologist and mineralogist Friedrich Mohs, in his book Versuch einer Elementar-Methode ...

  5. Rosiwal scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosiwal_scale

    Rosiwal scale. The Rosiwal scale is a hardness scale in mineralogy, with its name given in memory of the Austrian geologist August Karl Rosiwal. The Rosiwal scale attempts to give more quantitative values of scratch hardness, unlike the Mohs scale which is a qualitative measurement with relative values. The Rosiwal method (also called the ...

  6. Rhodochrosite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhodochrosite

    Rhodochrosite is a manganese carbonate mineral with chemical composition MnCO 3. In its pure form (rare), it is typically a rose-red colour, [5] but it can also be shades of pink to pale brown. It streaks white, [6] and its Mohs hardness varies between 3.5 and 4.5. Its specific gravity is between 3.45 and 3.6. [7]

  7. Rockwell scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockwell_scale

    Rockwell scale. The Rockwell scale is a hardness scale based on indentation hardness of a material. The Rockwell test measures the depth of penetration of an indenter under a large load (major load) compared to the penetration made by a preload (minor load). [1] There are different scales, denoted by a single letter, that use different loads or ...

  8. Granite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granite

    Granite (/ ˈɡrænɪt / GRAN-it) is a coarse-grained (phaneritic) intrusive igneous rock composed mostly of quartz, alkali feldspar, and plagioclase. It forms from magma with a high content of silica and alkali metal oxides that slowly cools and solidifies underground.

  9. Vickers hardness test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vickers_hardness_test

    The Vickers hardness test was developed in 1921 by Robert L. Smith and George E. Sandland at Vickers Ltd as an alternative to the Brinell method to measure the hardness of materials. [1] The Vickers test is often easier to use than other hardness tests since the required calculations are independent of the size of the indenter, and the indenter ...
