2. Mohs scale - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohs_scale

   Mohs hardness kit, containing one specimen of each mineral on the ten-point hardness scale The Mohs scale ( / m oʊ z / 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.

3. Spinel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinel

   Polyhedral representation of spinel MgAl 2 O 4. Spinel (/ s p ɪ ˈ n ɛ l, ˈ s p ɪ n əl / [7]) is the magnesium/aluminium member of the larger spinel group of minerals. It has the formula MgAl 2 O 4 in the cubic crystal system. Its name comes from the Latin word spinella, a diminutive form of spine, in reference to its pointed crystals. [5]

4. Scratch hardness - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scratch_hardness

   [3] [4] The Mohs scale is based on relative scratch hardness of different materials; with talc assigned a value of 1 and diamond assigned a value of 10. [5] Mohs's scale had two limitations: it was not linear, and most modern abrasives fall between 9 and 10.; [6] [7] so, later scientists attempted to increase resolution at the harder end of the ...

6. Ring size - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_size

   Originally in 1945, the divisions were based on the ring inside diameter in steps of 1 ⁄ 64 inch (0.40 mm). [6] However, in 1987 BSI updated the standard to the metric system so that one alphabetical size division equals 1.25 mm of circumferential length. For a baseline, ring size C has a circumference of 40 mm. [7]

7. Friedrich Mohs - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_Mohs

   Carl Friedrich Christian Mohs (/ m oʊ z / MOHZ, German: [ˈfʁiːdʁɪç ˈmoːs]; 29 January 1773 – 29 September 1839) was a German chemist and mineralogist. He was the creator of the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. [1] Mohs also introduced a classification of the crystal forms in crystal systems independently of Christian Samuel Weiss. [2]
