《辞海》第6版:【摩斯硬度计】矿物相对刻划硬度的标准。由奥地利矿物学家摩斯(Friedrich Mohs
,1773—1839
)在18
世纪初叶提出,故名。由10
种常见的矿物组成,按硬度从小到大分为10
级:(1)滑石;(2)石膏;(3)方解石;(4)萤石:(5)磷灰石;(6)长石;(7)石英;(8)黄玉;(9)刚玉:(10)金刚石。其相应的数字即为摩斯硬度值。硬度高的矿物可在硬度低的矿物表面留下刻痕,反之则不能。据此,使未知硬度的矿物与标准矿物相互刻划,以确定该矿物的摩斯硬度。 《现代汉语词典》第6版: 【莫氏硬度表】Mòshì yìngdùbiǎo 测定矿物硬度最常用的标准,是德国矿物学家莫氏(Fricdrich Mohs)制定的。取十种常见的矿物,按由软到硬的次序排列:1.滑石;2.石膏;3.方解石;4.萤石;5.磷灰石;6.长石;7.石英;8.黄玉;9.刚玉;10.金刚石。其他矿物可以依次和这些矿物比较,以决定其硬度。 《不列颠百科全书》:Mohs hardness, rough measure of the resistance of a smooth surface to scratching or abrasion, expressed in terms of a scale devised (1812) by the
German mineralogist Friedrich Mohs. The Mohs hardness of a
mineral is determined by observing whether its surface is scratched by a substance of known or defined
hardness.
To give numerical values to this physical property, minerals are ranked along the Mohs scale, which is composed of 10 minerals that have been given arbitrary hardness values.... (100 of 495 words)

《辞海》说 Mohs 是奥地利人,《现汉》说 Mohs 是德国人,《不列颠百科全书》也说 Mohs 是德国人。
