Cleavage is the tendency to break along flat surfaces, and fracture is the tendency of a mineral to break into irregular pieces.
Fracture is conchoidal, meaning that diamonds are brittle and when they break, the break does not follow any natural plane of separation.
Cleavage is when you can break the rock into square like pieces and Fracture is when you break a rock into uneven different shaped pieces.
Magnetite has fracture not cleavage. ChaCha on!

Emerald is imperfect cleavage. This means that that its cleavage is not clear to find. Some people think it is frature but if the Emerald was to break it would break in sheets which is known as cleavage.
fracture or cleavage
Minerals can have a cleavage plane, multiple cleavage planes, or no cleavage plane. A cleavage plane is an area of weakness in the crystalline structure where the mineral is prone to splitting.
