Jaspilite Hardness On Mohs Scale
Jaspilite usually measures around 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs Scale of mineral hardness, meaning it is a relatively hard and durable stone that is quite resistant to scratching.
However, the hardness of Jaspilite stone can vary depending on the exact composition of the minerals within the stone.
Jaspilite rock is a mixture of the harder mineral Jasper, which measures 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, and Hematite, which is a slightly softer mineral that measures 5.5 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale.
Therefore, Jaspilite can vary in hardness between 5.5 to 7 on the Mohs Scale, depending on the ratio of hematite to jasper within the makeup of the Jaspilite rock.
