Cultured diamonds rate 10 or 10+ on the Mohs scale. The 10+ aspect refers to previous findings by the GIA and others that lab-grown diamonds are slightly harder and less brittle than mined diamonds. This can be as a result of ideal nitrogen dispersion in lab-grown diamonds, therefore forming a perfect crystal structure.
