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. Fracture is usually described with the terms “fibrous” and “splintery” to denote a fracture that usually leaves elongated and sharp edges. Fracture observed in Amazonite is Uneven. Anatase fracture is Subconchoidal and Conchoidal.

Amazonite Vs Anatase Luster

A primary knowledge about Amazonite vs Anatase luster is useful in apparent identifications of these gemstones. Luster is the measure of light that gets reflected when incident on a finished cut gemstone. There are two major types of lusters: Silky and Adamantine. Since luster varies between two crystals of even the same gemstone, luster is limited to basic identification criteria. Amazonite exhibits Vitreous luster. Anatase, on other hand, exhibits Adamantine luster.
