Refractive index of a solid is observed to have the same value along all directions. Comment on the nature of this solid. Would it show cleavage property?

These solids are isotropic in nature i.e., they have the same value of physical properties in all directions. Thus, they also have the same value of refractive index along with all directions. As the solid is amorphous it will not exhibit cleavage property i.e., it will break into pieces with undefined surfaces when cut.
