Clinozoisite Vs Chambersite Fracture

Fracture is an important parameter when you compare Clinozoisite and Chambersite Physical Properties. It is necessary to understand the significance of these properties, before you compare Clinozoisite Vs Chambersite 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 Clinozoisite is Irregular/uneven and Uneven. Chambersite fracture is Uneven and Conchoidal.

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