Fracture is an important parameter when you compare Sodalite and Aquamarine Physical Properties. It is necessary to understand the significance of these properties, before you compare Sodalite Vs Aquamarine 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.

Sodalite Vs Aquamarine Luster

A primary knowledge about Sodalite vs Aquamarine 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. Sodalite exhibits Greasy luster. Aquamarine, on other hand, exhibits Vitreous luster.
