What are 3 differences between cleavage and fracture?
Cleavage is the tendency of a mineral to break along planes of weak atomic bonding, resulting in smooth, flat surfaces, while fracture is the tendency of a mineral to break with rough, irregular surfaces. Cleavage results in smooth, reflective surfaces that reflect light, whereas fracture surfaces are dull and do not reflect light. Cleavage is a property that is characteristic of certain minerals and can be used for mineral identification, while fracture can vary depending on the specific conditions of the break and is less consistent across different minerals.
Dose sapphire have a cleavage break or a fracture?
Sapphire has a mixture of both cleavage and fracture characteristics. It has poor cleavage in one direction and conchoidal fracture, which means it breaks with smooth, curved surfaces similar to glass.
Does fluorite have cleavage or fracture?
