Conchoidal fracture

is a curved breakage that resembles the concentric ripples of a mussel shell. It often
occurs in amorphous or fine-grained minerals such as flint, opal or obsidian, but may
also occur in crystalline minerals such as quartz. Subconchoidal fracture is similar to
conchoidal fracture, but with less significant curvature. (Note that obsidian is an igneous
rock, not a mineral, but it does illustrate conchoidal fracture well.)

Cleavage:
In mineral terms, cleavage describes how a crystal breaks when subject to stress on a
particular plane. If part of a crystal breaks due to stress and the broken piece retains a
smooth plane or crystal shape, the mineral has cleavage. A mineral that never produces
any crystallized fragments when broken off has no cleavage.

Luster
describes how a mineral appears to reflects light, and how brilliant or dull the mineral is.
