What is the clevage of a sapphire?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

The cleavage of a sapphire is usually described as poor or absent, meaning that it does not cleave easily along distinct planes like some other gemstones. This makes sapphires durable and less prone to breaking in certain directions.
