Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Quartz is a light-colored mineral that can be transparent and is known to fracture rather than cleave. Garnet is typically darker and does not have transparent properties. Biotite and muscovite are both mica minerals that cleave rather than fracture. Feldspar can be light colored, but it typically cleaves instead of fracturing.
