C. Photographs of five mineral specimens that display cleavage are shown in Fig. A3.2.3. Dashed lines indicate the orientation of cleavage faces on the sides of most of the specimens, and the type of surface on the front of the specimens is indicated. Use your observations along with Figs. 3.7º and 3.22 to answer the following two questions for each specimen: How many directions of cleavage does each specimen have, and what mineral might this be? It's OK if your tentative identification includes more than one possibility. Write your responses under the corresponding photograph(s).
