1 answer

To help you categorize items based on their characteristics, here are some general distinctions between fracture and cleavage that may assist:

Fracture: This refers to the way a mineral breaks unevenly, producing rough or jagged surfaces. Examples of items that exhibit fracture include:

  • Quartz
  • Obsidian
  • Granite

Cleavage: This is when a mineral breaks along smooth, flat planes. Examples of items that exhibit cleavage include:

  • Mica
  • Halite
  • Calcite

You can categorize the specific items you have based on these descriptions. If you have a list of items in mind that you need to classify, please provide them, and I can help you determine which category they belong to!
