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 Chromite is Uneven. Prasiolite fracture is Conchoidal and ConchoidalWalter Schumann.

Chromite Vs Prasiolite Luster

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. Prasiolite, on other hand, exhibits Vitreous luster.
