Can someone please come up with an easy mnemonic theme to help remember the sequence in Mohs' Scale?
I need to remember the sequence for a geology exam. Also, I thought it would be interesting to see some ideas. The sequence is as follows:
1 - Talc 2 - Gypsum 3 - Calcite 4 - Fluorite 5 - Apatite 6 - Feldspar 7 - Quartz 8 - Topaz 9 - Corundum 10 - Diamond
The example from my textbook is "The Greek Cook Fries Apples, Fish, and Quince, Till Completely Done." Please help and thanks in advance.
