It's an isotropic solid. Isotropic solids don't show cleavage property.

Answer:
- An isotropic solid has the same value of physical properties when measured along different directions.
- Therefore, the given solid, having the same value of refractive index along all directions, is isotropic in nature.
- Hence, the solid is an amorphous solid.
- When an amorphous solid is cut with a sharp edged tool, it cuts into two pieces with irregular surfaces.
