Answer to Question 1

Tenacity refers to the ability of a mineral to hold together. Quartz, a very brittle
mineral, has low tenacity. Biotite, a very elastic mineral, has high tenacity.

Answer to Question 2

Natural crystal faces form and produce perfect geometric patterns when a substance
is crystallized. Cleavage develops from planes of weakness within the crystal
structure. The crystal will break along the weakness planes.
