5. Mohs hardness scale
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohs_scale_of_mineral_hardness

The Mohs scale of mineral hardness characterizes the scratch resistance of various minerals through the ability of a harder material to scratch a softer material. It was created in 1812 by the German mineralogist Friedrich Mohs and is one of several definitions of hardness in materials science.

Mohs based the scale on ten minerals that are all readily available. As the hardest known naturally occurring substance, diamond is at the top of the scale. The hardness of a material is measured against the scale by finding the hardest material that the given material can scratch, and/or the softest material that can scratch the given material. For example, if some material is scratched by apatite but not by fluorite, its hardness on the Mohs scale is 4.5.

The Mohs scale is a purely ordinal scale. For example, corundum (9) is twice as hard as topaz (8), but diamond (10) almost four times as hard as corundum. The table below shows comparison with absolute hardness measured by a sclerometer.



+++I would say that I'm not a piece of carbon, more mica? or topaz! hrm. talc is pretty cool too though.+++

cheers-

6. My father was a geology professor.
After explaining the Mohs scale to a class one year, he noted that quartz ( a seven on the scale) was the hardest substance in West Texas. "Professor", she asked "Are you saying you can't get any harder than a seven?" His reply was, of course "Young lady, at my age, I'd say a seven is pretty good".

Thanks for the memory.
