Slate is a rock of mixed mineral composition and does therefore does not possess a uniform Mohs hardness. Because of varying porosity along with other factors, the elastic modulus, or measurement of stiffness, of various slate specimens will vary.

What scale is slate on the moh's hardness scale?
Slate is a rock, so you won't find it listed on the Mohs Scale, because that scale of hardness applies to minerals. I'll go out on a limb though, and suggest that slate is probably around 2 to 3 or so, but this will be variable, depending on the quality of the slate, and degree of weathering, etc.

What is the hardness of gabbro in mohs hardness scale?
A rock's hardness is usually measured in compressive fracture strength rather than a Mohs hardness which measures a mineral's relative hardness in comparison to other minerals. ASTM standard tests have rated gneiss at 50-200 MPa (roughly 350-1400 psi), a range lower than slate, quartzite, or basalt.
