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.
the manner in which a mineral breaks along either curved or irregular surfaces is called a FRACTURE.
