Fracture is usually described with the terms “fibrous” and “splintery” to denote a fracture that usually leaves elongated and sharp edges. Fracture observed in Zincite is Conchoidal. Scorodite fracture is Sub-Conchoidal and Splintery.

Zincite Vs Scorodite Luster

A primary knowledge about Zincite vs Scorodite 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. Zincite exhibits Subadamantine and Resinous luster. Scorodite, on other hand, exhibits Sub-Adamantine, Vitreous and Resinous luster.
