Carnallite Vs Cordierite Fracture

Fracture is an important parameter when you compare Carnallite and Cordierite Physical Properties. It is necessary to understand the significance of these properties, before you compare Carnallite Vs Cordierite 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. Fracture is usually described with the terms “fibrous” and “splintery” to denote a fracture that usually leaves elongated and sharp edges. Fracture observed in Carnallite is Brittle, Brittle, Conchoidal, Conchoidal and Violet. Cordierite fracture is Brittle, Conchoidal and Subconchoidal.
