According to the Love To Know Web site, there are several kinds of 'breaks' or types of flaws described for the interior of a diamond.

The most serious flaw, the one that most destabilizes a stone so that it fractures is called cleavage, or a straight crack. Bearding, or hair-lines sometimes appear around the girdle when the stone is cut and faceted. Growth lines, or grain lines occur as a diamond is formed.

Feathers and pinpoints are names attached to relatively insignificant inclusions.
