The level is only 3, it is not very hard because the person's nails are hard to 2.5, or the penny coin has a hardness of 3.5, which can make the front of the stone scratched if there is no stone coating.
  • Granite is quite strong. Because it consists of Fold Spa The hardness of the Moss is at the level of 6 and quartz mineral, which has the strength of Moss at the 7 level. Overall, the granite has a hardness at 6-6.5 depending on the amount of minerals that are components. Which is stronger than a kitchen knife, which has a hardness value of 5.5, therefore suitable for making a kitchen top Because it will be more difficult
  • Quarter Will be the stone that is the strongest in all 3 types of stones because it is mainly quartz mineral Resulting in the strength of the moss at the 7th level, which is stronger than the steel nails that are stiff at 6.5 levels, so it is suitable for decorating various points Whether it is a small use of TV walls Or heavy use points such as top kitchens
