Relative Hardness Of Precious Stones.
The relative hardness Of various
stones is easily determined by testing
the power Of one stone to make
scratches on another. IL diamond is
rubbed with one Of the points Of a
topaz, the topaz point is blunted and
the mark which will be seen on the
face OF the diamond is only the dust
OF the topaz, which can be brushed or
with the finger. But IL the topaz is
rubbed against the diamond the lat
ter is unaltered and the surface OF the
former is marked with a scratch
which can be removed only by fur
Their polishing down. 1t is on the basis
Of this process Of comparison that a
scale OF comparative hardness has
been formed represented by ten sub
stances, OF which diamond is the high
est and graphite the lowest in the
scale. It is curious fact that these
two extremes OF the scale. the brilliant
and hard diamond and soft black
graphite, are both chemically the same
substance-pure carbon.-Jewelers' Cir
