What is malachites cleavage
Malachite exhibits a conchoidal fracture, which means it breaks with smooth, curved surfaces. It does not have cleavage, which is the tendency of a mineral to break along preferred planes.
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.
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.

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.
