cleavage is when the rock gets cut in sheets, like you can peel it
fracture is when it can crumble and breaks like you think a rock should
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.
It has both. It's cleavage is perfect, and it's fracture is sub-conchoidal.
yes rutile has cleavage-distinct (100) yes rutile has fracture
Azurite does not have cleavage, but it exhibits a conchoidal fracture, meaning it breaks into smooth, curved surfaces similar to glass.
No, it has no preferred fracture or cleavage.
It has no cleavage because it has an uneven and irregular fracture.

Quartz does not have cleavage. However, it does have fracture. Its fracture is conchoidal.

Sapphire has a mixture of both cleavage and fracture characteristics. It has poor cleavage in one direction and conchoidal fracture, which means it breaks with smooth, curved surfaces similar to glass.
It has both cleavage and fracture.
Cleavage
It has both: uneven fracture, and perfect cleavage in three directions.
