Answer: fracture

Explanation:

Minerals are formed by crystallization from magmatic liquids or thermal solutions, by solid-state recrystallization and further, as the product of chemical reactions between solids and liquids. Fracture: When minerals do not break flat but according to an uneven surface. The types of fracture can be classified into:

• Conchoidal: when the mineral breaks, leaving curved marks similar to the growth lines of shells. Ex: quartz.

• Irregular: When the mineral breaks randomly, forming rough and uneven surfaces. Ex: tourmaline.

• Fibrous: when the mineral breaks down in the form of fibers. Ex: chrysotile.

• Serrated: when the mineral breaks up according to a jagged surface with sharp edges. Ex: gold.
