When is a mineral considered a gemstone? When it is rare? Or when it is especially beautiful? In reality, most gemstone definitions include hardness.<\/p>\n

In the past, stones that did not have a certain “gemstone hardness” were generally referred to as semiprecious stones. Today, this term is rarely used commercially because it can be misleading. People generally refer to jewels or jewelry stones instead.<\/p>\n

To be considered a true gemstone, a stone must have a Mohs hardness rating of at least 7.<\/p>\n

MOHS<\/strong> SCALE OF MINERAL HARDNESS<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3\/4″][vc_column_text css=””]Over time, various units of measurement, tests, and scales have been developed for determining the hardness of materials. In mineralogy, and therefore in connection with gemstones, the Mohs scale is generally used. This scale was developed by the German geologist Friedrich Mohs in the early 19th century.<\/p>\n

A hard material will scratch a softer material. However, soft materials cannot scratch harder materials. Based on this fact, Mohs developed his scale of scratching hardness.
\nEach position on the scale corresponds to a reference material that can scratch another material. Therefore, the scale is not linear; for example, feldspar is not twice as hard as calcite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Minerals in gemstone hardness<\/span><\/h2>\n

A jewel must have a certain “gemstone hardness” to be considered a true “gemstone.”<\/div>
<\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=”3\/4″][vc_column_text css=””]To be considered a true gemstone, a jewel must have a certain hardness.
\nMinerals with a Mohs hardness of 1 to 2 are considered soft; those with a hardness of 3 to 5 are medium-hard; and minerals with a hardness of 6 or more are hard. Minerals with a Mohs hardness of 7 or higher are considered very hard, which is usually the minimum requirement for a gemstone.<\/p>\n

Diamond is the hardest material there is, with a Mohs hardness of 10. Synthetic moissanite has a Mohs hardness of 9.5 and would theoretically be the second hardest gemstone. However, because it is synthetically produced, it cannot be considered a gemstone.<\/p>\n

The highly sought-after ruby<\/a> and sapphire<\/a> are members of the corundum family and have a Mohs hardness of 9.
\nThey are followed by topaz and beryl, which have a Mohs hardness of 7.5 to 8. Beryl includes emeralds<\/a>, aquamarines and other colored varieties of the mineral. Spinel<\/a> also has a hardness of 8, tourmaline<\/a> lies between 7 and 7,5 and tanzanite<\/a> ranges from 6.5 to 7.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]

Rosiwal’s absolute scale measures the hardness of materials based on their abrasive resistance. The Vickers test measures a material’s ability to resist plastic deformation from a standard force.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
