Moh’s scale – developed by Austrian mineralogist Friedrich Mohs in 1824. Absolute scales – Brinell, Knoop, Rockwell, Vicker’s. 3. Moh’s Scale. naturally occurring, . inorganic solid . with a specific chemical composition . a definite crystalline structure. Minerals can form from the cooling of magma which is the molten material found beneath Earth’s surface as magma rises closer to the surface the molten compounds no longer move freely and they begin to interact chemically to form minerals. All rocks are made up of 2 or more of these minerals. . Minerals are not rocks!. Silicon and oxygen are the most abundant elements in the crust and in minerals. Oxygen is the most abundant element in minerals.
