It is necessary to understand the significance of these properties, before you compare Magnetite Vs Bertrandite fracture.

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 Magnetite is Uneven and Conchoidal.
