Comprising magnesium hydroxide, Brucite belongs to the mineral class known as hydroxides. It boasts a Mohs hardness rating of around 2.5 to 3, rendering it relatively soft compared to other gemstones. This softness makes Brucite a challenging gem to cut and polish but enhances its natural charm, lending it a unique appeal.
