🪨💥 Not all minerals break the same way.

Some minerals break along smooth, flat planes called cleavage, while others shatter irregularly through fracture.

✨ Fluorite = excellent cleavage
✨ Quartz = conchoidal fracture

This difference comes from how atoms are arranged inside the mineral structure — making breakage patterns an important tool in mineral identification.

Geology gets surprisingly technical once things start breaking 👀

💬 Which mineral break patterns do you find the coolest?

🤍✨ June Birthstone: Pearl ✨🤍

Unlike most gemstones formed deep within the earth, pearls are created by living mollusks layer by layer over time.

Their soft glow, known as luster, comes from light reflecting through microscopic layers of nacre — giving pearls their timeless appearance.

Elegant, natural, and completely unique 🌊✨
