Fracture is usually described with the terms “fibrous” and “splintery” to denote a fracture that usually leaves elongated and sharp edges. Fracture observed in Mimetite is Conchoidal. Hessonite fracture is Uneven.

Since luster varies between two crystals of even the same gemstone, luster is limited to basic identification criteria. Mimetite exhibits Resinous and Subadamantine luster.
