Hi, just looking for a one way or the other.
Many years ago, a fellow that I knew, gave me a brittle, hard and shiny,

I was wondering if anyone cold look at some pics on a page and sway one way

crucible.
I did the scratch test. The Molybdenite,(molybdenum di-sulphide), obviously
left a mark like a soft grey lead pencil.
Then I rubbed the suspect Mo sample on it and to my surprise, it left the
same, soft looking,
Hi, OK I put up the pics of the streaks, The Molybdenite streak is bluer

Hi Mark, I sat down and rubbed it hard with my thumb, polishing a flat spot,
