Cleavage of a crystal is considered an isotropic behavior because it occurs along specific planes that do not depend on the direction of the applied stress within those planes. In isotropic materials, properties such as mechanical strength and fracture behavior remain uniform in all directions. During cleavage, the bond strength between atoms along the cleavage plane is weaker compared to other directions, allowing the crystal to split uniformly regardless of the orientation of the external force. This uniformity in fracture behavior highlights the isotropic nature of the cleavage process.
Cleavage of crystals is anisotropic because the structure of crystals consists of planes of atoms where the bonds are weaker or stronger in different directions. When a crystal cleaves, it breaks along planes of weaker bonds, resulting in different cleavage planes having different strengths. This anisotropy arises from the crystalline structure and the arrangement of atoms in the crystal lattice.
Cleavage is considered anisotropic because the ease at which minerals split along specific planes varies depending on the crystal structure. In anisotropic materials, the atoms are arranged in a non-uniform manner, leading to different properties in different directions. This results in variations in the cleavage behavior along different crystallographic planes.
Tin, by itself is not a mineral, and has no cleavage.

Radioactive isotope analysis &/or other measurements & calculations on the crystal itself or on its source formation.
Many commercially available crystal roses are made from Swarovski crystal a form of lead glass, itself composed of mainly Quartz. Tutorials on how to make your own crystal glass can be found on the web or bought in a completed form.
No it is dangerous. Using Crystal Meth is dangerous by itself
A marble's cleavage refers to how the marble breaks or fractures along certain planes. Marble has a tendency to break along flat planes due to its crystalline structure, creating smooth surfaces when separated. Cleavage is used by geologists to help identify and classify different types of rocks and minerals.
The crystal itself is a yellowish orange. The mimosa bark is an orange color.
no it will do everything itself
Genuine Tiffany & Co. crystals will be marked with the company's logo or name. Look for a stamp or engraving on the crystal itself to determine if it was made by Tiffany & Co.
