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 Fayalite is Conchoidal. Fluorite fracture is Subconchoidal, Uneven and ConchoidalWalter Schumann.

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