The mineral agate used for the Lab Crystals exhibits a Mohs Scratch Hardness of ~7 and this is what makes agate the ideal choice for tools for grinding or crushing even for the hardest of materials. Unlike porcelain, which is porous, the high quality agate used by Lab Crystals is of high density ( without porosity) which minimizes sample loss and reduces cross contamination between samples.
