Fracture refers to the appearance of the freshly broken mineral. Chert or flint, for instance, has a conchoidal fracture.
Fracture.
the manner in which a mineral breaks along either curved or irregular surfaces is called a FRACTURE.

Cleavage is when a mineral breaks into flat pieces. Fracture is when a mineral breaks into irregular pieces. Topaz atom bonds are weaker in some parts and stronger in others. When it is equally strong then it breaks into irregular pieces and if it all weak in a flat line then it will be flat.
Fracture. When it breaks apart cleanly, that is called Cleavage.

Fracture.
Fracture in minerals refers to the way a mineral breaks when it is not subjected to cleavage. It can result in irregular, jagged surfaces or smooth, curved surfaces. This property helps in identifying minerals based on how they break.
the cleavage is Poor
The breaking of a mineral along irregular surfaces is called a fracture. The splitting of a mineral along smooth, flat surfaces is called cleavage.
Fracture
The breaking of a mineral along a rough or irregular surface
The fracture of magnetite is typically subconchoidal to uneven, with irregular or jagged edges. It can also exhibit a brittle fracture pattern.
Gypsum has a brittle fracture with a conchoidal or uneven break. It tends to break into irregular, sharp pieces when fractured.
Fracture
Cleavage is the tendency of a mineral to break along flat surfaces and fracture is the tendency of a mineral to break into irregular pieces.
Cleavage is the tendency of a mineral to break along flat surfaces and fracture is the tendency of a mineral to break into irregular pieces.
