Dose sapphire have a cleavage break or a fracture?
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.
What is the clevage of a sapphire?
Cleavage refers to how a mineral breaks and how the atoms are positioned. Cleavage is measured in the following ways: quality of cleavage, the number of sides exhibiting cleavage and the cleavage habit and in the case of a diamond it is all sides.
Does chalcopyrite have cleavage?

Does sapphires display 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.

What is sulfurs cleavage cleavage?
Sulfur's cleavage is imperfect.
Which is more strong diamond or carborandom?
Diamond, with a hardness rating of 10 on the Mohs scale, is harder than corundum (ruby and sapphire), which has a hardness rating of 9. However, diamond has perfect cleavage while corundum has no cleavage. So an answer to the original question would depend on the meaning of "strong."
