A young girl, Piper, is very much interested in rocks. She has been researching on the internet for ​all kind of information on rocks, minerals and about everything pertaining to the world of rocks. She has found an article on the listing of the hardness of metals and she recommended this link for this website. It is included because as lapidarists it is worthwhile to compare the hardness of rocks and minerals to the hardness of metals. The two links are listed here for you to view.
