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.

A primary knowledge about Parisite vs Anorthite luster is useful in apparent identifications of these gemstones. Luster is the measure of light that gets reflected when incident on a finished cut gemstone. There are two major types of lusters: Silky and Adamantine. Since luster varies between two crystals of even the same gemstone, luster is limited to basic identification criteria. Anorthite, on other hand, exhibits Vitreous luster.
