Fracture is usually described with the terms “fibrous” and “splintery” to denote a fracture that usually leaves elongated and sharp edges. Fracture observed in Pyrite is Uneven, Conchoidal and ConchoidalWalter Schumann. Dravite fracture is Uneven, Irregular and Conchoidal.

Pyrite Vs Dravite Luster

A primary knowledge about Pyrite vs Dravite 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. Dravite, on other hand, exhibits Vitreous luster.
