Fracture is usually described with the terms “fibrous” and “splintery” to denote a fracture that usually leaves elongated and sharp edges. Fracture observed in Amber is Conchoidal. Scorodite fracture is Sub-Conchoidal and Splintery.

Scorodite, on other hand, exhibits Sub-Adamantine, Vitreous and Resinous luster.
