Periclase Vs Pargasite Fracture

Fracture is an important parameter when you compare Periclase and Pargasite Physical Properties. It is necessary to understand the significance of these properties, before you compare Periclase Vs Pargasite 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 Periclase is Brittle and Conchoidal. Pargasite fracture is Brittle, Splintery and Uneven.

Periclase Vs Pargasite Luster

Since luster varies between two crystals of even the same gemstone, luster is limited to basic identification criteria. Periclase exhibits Vitreous luster. Pargasite, on other hand, exhibits Vitreous luster.
