  • Understanding Mineral Fracture: Types and Characteristics
    A mineral that has uneven surfaces when broken is said to have fracture.

    There are different types of fracture, such as:

    * Conchoidal fracture: This is a smooth, curved fracture, like the inside of a seashell. It is often seen in quartz and obsidian.

    * Hackly fracture: This is a jagged, uneven fracture, with sharp edges. It is often seen in metals.

    * Fibrous fracture: This is a fracture that produces long, thin fibers. It is often seen in asbestos.

    * Irregular fracture: This is a fracture that is simply uneven and does not fit any of the other categories.

    So, the answer is fracture.
