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

Rubellite Vs Spodumene Luster

A primary knowledge about Rubellite vs Spodumene luster is useful in apparent identifications of these gemstones.

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