cleavage

cleavage logo #22290 The property some minerals have of tending to split along clean planes in one or more directions. Not all minerals posses cleavage and many can be cleaved in several different directions. Cleavage is related to the minerals crystalline structure. (see mineral properties)

cleavage

cleavage logo #22291 The tendency of certain minerals to break along distinct planes in their crystal structures where the bonds are weakest. Cleavage is tested by striking or hammering a mineral, and is classified by the number of surfaces it produces and the angles between adjacent surfaces.

Cleavage

Cleavage logo #21217Cleavage is the structural lines along which a mineral will break up when it is subjected to pressure, such as being struck a sharp blow. The regular structure of most crystallized bodies becomes manifest as soon as they are broken. Each fragment presents the form of a small polyhedron, and the very dust appears under the microscope an assemblage o...
