Clinozoisite Vs Scheelite Fracture

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