Best Answer

Two properties of minerals that can be expressed in numbers are hardness and specific gravity. Hardness is usually determined using the Mohs scale and is expressed as a number between 1 (softest) and 10 (hardest). Specific gravity is the ratio of a mineral's density compared to the density of water and is expressed as a number.
