Directions: Imagine that you you have been given samples of the ten minerals listed in the
Mohs Hardness Scale. However, instead of being labeled by name, the samples are labeled
only with code letters. Use the following clues and chart of the Mohs Scale of Hardness to
determine the identity of each mineral. Then record your results
