From the chapter: Mining Geology and Mine Development: Minerals, Rocks, Ore Genesis, Structures, Access, Drivages, Drilling and Blasting

On the Mohs scale of hardness, the mineral with hardness 7 is:

Show the answer and why

Answer: B.

Quartz is 7, between orthoclase (6) and topaz (8); apatite is 5. Because quartz is so common and so hard, a steel blade (about 5.5) scratches feldspar with difficulty and quartz not at all — a quick field test.
