The Mohs Scale of Hardness is the test used to identify types of rocks. The scale goes from 1 to 10, with 1 being the softest and 10 being the hardest. In order to do this test you do need to have a sample of each type of mineral. Scratch the rock you are testing with the test specimen or several test specimens until you find one that scratches it.

Definition. A measure of the ease with which a smooth surface of a mineral can be scratched, or of its resistance to abrasion. In 1822 the Austrian mineralogist Friedrich Mohs devised a scale based on one mineral's ability to scratch another. He placed 10 minerals in order from softest to hardest, giving a relative hardness value of 1 to the
