Neptunite Vs Narsarsukite Fracture

Fracture is an important parameter when you compare Neptunite and Narsarsukite Physical Properties. It is necessary to understand the significance of these properties, before you compare Neptunite Vs Narsarsukite 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 Neptunite is Brittle, Conchoidal, ConchoidalAnthony et al and Handbook of mineralogy (2001). Narsarsukite fracture is Brittle, ConchoidalAnthony et al, Handbook of mineralogy (2001), Uneven and Uneven.
