Fracture is usually described with the terms “fibrous” and “splintery” to denote a fracture that usually leaves elongated and sharp edges. Fracture observed in Amethyst is Conchoidal, ConchoidalWalter Schumann and Gemstones of the world (2001).

Amethyst Vs Diamond Luster

A primary knowledge about Amethyst vs Diamond 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. Amethyst exhibits Vitreous luster. Diamond, on other hand, exhibits Adamantine luster.
