Lazurite Vs Cavansite Fracture

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