Verified Answer :

True A mineral that does not split apart evenly has the property of FRACTURE

The given statement is True.  

In mineralogy, fracture refers to the shape and texture of the surface of the rock produced when a mineral is fractured. Minerals generally exhibit a highly distinguishing fracture, making it the main character used in their determination.  

Fracture varies from cleavage, in cleavage clean splitting along the plane of cleavage takes place in the mineral's crystal structure, which is in contrast to more usual breakage.
