In quartz, a three-dimentional framework is developed through the complete sharing of oxygen by adjacent silicon atoms. Thus, all of the bonds in quartz are of the strong silicon-oxygen type. Consequently, quartz is hard, resistant to weathering, and does not have cleavage!
yes
No. In minerology, cleavage is a feature, not a physical thing. Regardless, quartz does not possess the feature known as cleavage, meaning that it has no parallel broken surfaces. Rather, the feature that quartz can possess is called "fracture."
The major differences between quartz and calcite are hardness and cleavage. Quartz is about twice as hard as calcite. Quartz has little or at least very seldom any sort of obvious cleavage, whereas calcite has excellent and very obvious rhombohedral cleavage.
Aluminum does not display the characteristics of cleavage.
No, quartz doesn't have distinctive cleavage, it will tend to break with a conchoidal fracture.
The cleavage of rose quartz is 2.65
Quartz does not have cleavage. However, it does have fracture. Its fracture is conchoidal.
There is no broken parts in quartz, so Quartz does not have cleavage.

Quartz has a conchoidal fracture. It does not have a cleavage plane.
