Minerals cleave along specific planes due to their internal atomic structure and bonding. The arrangement of atoms in a crystal lattice creates zones of weakness where bonds are weaker or less numerous, making it easier for the mineral to break along these planes. The orientation of these planes is determined by the symmetry and geometry of the crystal, leading to characteristic cleavage patterns in different minerals. As a result, the cleavage reflects the mineral's unique structural properties.
