The mineral quartz show the property of fracture. it breaks along a curved surface. this kind of fracture is called conchoidal fracture. In math the quartz is x3.

Does quartz split in three directions?
No, quartz doesn't have distinctive cleavage, it will tend to break with a conchoidal fracture.
What is the property of minerals that break with jagged surfaces?
Fracture
Minerals like quartz that break into pieces with jagged edges have?
Fracture
How can someone identify quartz in an igneous rock from plagioclase?
quartz will have conchidal fracture...plagioclase will have 2 sets of cleavage near 90 degrees and some striations quartz will have conchidal fracture...plagioclase will have 2 sets of cleavage near 90 degrees and some striations
Is a quartz a cleavage?
No. In minerology, cleavage is a feature, not a physical thing. Regardless, quartz does not possess the feature known as cleavage, meaning that it has no parallel broken surfaces. Rather, the feature that quartz can possess is called "fracture."
Does quartz have cleavage or a fracture?
Quartz does not have cleavage. However, it does have fracture. Its fracture is conchoidal.
Does quartz have clevage or fracture?
There is no broken parts in quartz, so Quartz does not have cleavage.
If you break quartz what physical property?
When quartz is broken it has a conchoidal fracture. Fracture is the appearance of the broken plane of a mineral. A conchodal fracture is described a being curved, and looking like broken glass.
When quartz breaks will it form cleavage of fracture?
fracture
Does quart have a cleavage or a fracture?
Quartz has a conchoidal fracture. It does not have a cleavage plane.
What way does quartz break?

What mineral has a pearly luster and a conchoidal fracture?
Chrysotile serpentine is a typical mineral with splintery fracture and kyanite is an example of a non-fibrous mineral that has this fracture.
