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 Feldspar is Uneven and Conchoidal. Cryolite fracture is Uneven.

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