Kekerasan Batu Permata
Grafik ilustrasi ini menunjukkan peringkat kekerasan untuk 149 varietas batu permata alam. Ini adalah skala kekerasan yang paling lengkap dan akurat untuk batu permata yang tersedia secara online, dan mencakup banyak varietas batu langka.
Dalam gemology, kekerasan batu permata diukur pada skala yang dikenal sebagai skala Mohs, yang memberikan mineral nilai antara 1 (softest) dan 10 (hardest). Skala ini dirancang oleh ahli mineral Jerman, Frederick Mohs, pada tahun 1822. Ini mendefinisikan kekerasan dalam hal tahan gores, di mana mineral hardest akan menggores softest, namun tidak sebaliknya.
Gems dengan rating kekerasan 1-2 dianggap softest, sedangkan di kisaran 3-5 adalah medium hardest/keras. Gems lebih dari 6 dianggap hardest/keras dan dengan demikian cocok untuk perhiasan.
