The Mohs Scale of Mineral Hardness was created in 1812 by Frederich Mohs, a
German mineralogist. To devise this scale, he selected ten
minerals that were common or readily available. The only problem with this is that the scale is not linear, however, it is still
the most common scale of mineral hardness in use even in more modern times.
I specialize in unique and one of a kind custom made jewelry inspired by gardening, nature, Boho and fairy tale themes. I sell on Etsy, through my studio and my subscription box The Happy Dancing Dragonfly. The blog includes all kinds of info for self-care, crystal healing, jewelry care and anything I think will inform or amuse readers.
