I reckon I'm about a 2-3 on the mohs scale because I'm easy to sratch with a finger nail.

I am certainly not talc, nor am I a diamond. I am somewhere in between. I think I am about a 7.5 andalusite - fairly strong some ways, but if struck at another angle, I will shatter.

No doubt about it. I am a true gem, a diamond, a 10! However, there are times when I can be quite soft, soft as talc, a 1!
