Minerals, even those with high hardness, can break. Typically, minerals break in one of two ways. A mineral can break with fracture or with cleavage. The type of breakage is dependent on the chemical bonds that are present at the atomic level of the mineral. There are many types of chemical bonds and forces that bind molecules together.
