    2 set if cleavage top,side right Cleavages are the planar surface i.e. a plane. In the shown figure, out of three only two directions (one vertical and one horizontal) are showing planar orientation i.e. can represent a cleavage plane. The 3rd surface is not planar (shown as curved) and hence that can not be a cleavage.
