It's a bit of a tangent, but there's an entire field of study called "fractography" which is all about doing things exactly like that.
Further tangent: "a piece of broke glass" can exhibit interesting morphology... "mirror", "mist", and "hackle" are distinctive signatures of different fracture conditions.
- peter_d_sherman 8y agoFascinating! Did not know about that subject until now. For anyone that studies material engineering even casually, it's an important sub-topic (I never took material engineering in college, that's why I was ignorant about this subject prior to your comment). On a related note, I found this cool related link on Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Fracture_mechanics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Fracture_mechanics. Anyway, thanks again for the comment!
