DIAMOND CLEAVAGE

Domain	Definition
Mining	The plane along which a diamond crystal can be split easily. The four planes paralleling the faces of an octahedron are those generally referred to as the cleavage planes, or diamond cleavage. All crystalline diamonds are more or less brittle and will be fractured by a sufficiently violent blow, but the irregular surface of a fracture cannot be mistaken for the brilliant flat surface produced by cleaving. The carbon has no cleavage,and in ballas cleavage is absent or very poorly defined. (references)
