Fracture is an important parameter when you compare Schorlomite and Selenite Physical Properties. It is necessary to understand the significance of these properties, before you compare Schorlomite Vs Selenite 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 Schorlomite is Brittle, Conchoidal and Gems.

Selenite, on other hand, exhibits Vitreous luster.
