It is necessary to understand the significance of these properties, before you compare Ajoite Vs Adamite fracture. Whenever a gemstone chip breaks, it leaves a characteristic line along its breakage. Such lines are known as fracture and are used to identify the gemstones in their initial stages of production when they are in the form of rough minerals.
