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 Calcite is Conchoidal. Thulite fracture is Uneven and Conchoidal.

A primary knowledge about Calcite vs Thulite luster is useful in apparent identifications of these gemstones.

Since luster varies between two crystals of even the same gemstone, luster is limited to basic identification criteria. Calcite exhibits Vitreous and Pearly luster. Thulite, on other hand, exhibits Vitreous luster.
