yes rutile has cleavage-distinct (100)
yes rutile has fracture
Hematite has a characteristic fracture, meaning it breaks irregularly with rough or jagged edges and no smooth cleavage planes.
It has both. It's cleavage is perfect, and it's fracture is sub-conchoidal.
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.
Sapphires typically display cleavage, which refers to the tendency of a mineral to break along certain planes of weakness. Fracture, on the other hand, refers to the way a mineral breaks when it does not have cleavage.
Quartz does not have cleavage. However, it does have fracture. Its fracture is conchoidal.

Fracture
Hematite has a characteristic fracture, meaning it breaks irregularly with rough or jagged edges and no smooth cleavage planes.
the cleavage is Poor
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.
