How a mineral breaks apart when it does not split evenly?
The two way by which minerals break are called cleavage and fracture. Cleavage is when a mineral breaks along a plane whose atomic bonds are weaker than in the rest of the mineral. Fracture is when a mineral is forced to be broken in an unnatural direction.
What is the break of a mineral called?
The break of a mineral is called its cleavage. Cleavage refers to the way a mineral breaks along planes of weakness, resulting in smooth, flat surfaces.
What do the surfaces of a mineral with a fracture look like?
A mineral with fracture has uneven side when split into half.
What is the difference between mineral cleavage and mineral fracture.?
Cleavage is the breaking of a mineral along flat surfaces. Fracture, on the hand is just the chipping or "fracture" of a mineral.Cleavage is the tendency to break along flat surfaces, and fracture is the tendency of a mineral to break into irregular pieces.

What mineral has a pearly luster and a conchoidal fracture?
The mineral that has a pearly luster and a conchoidal fracture is talc. Talc is a soft mineral with a characteristic pearly luster due to its perfect cleavage planes and breaks with a unique conchoidal fracture pattern.
