Fracture is usually described with the terms “fibrous” and “splintery” to denote a fracture that usually leaves elongated and sharp edges. Fracture observed in Coral is Irregular. Spodumene fracture is Uneven and Subconchoidal.

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