No, cleavage does not always leave jagged and rough surfaces. Cleavage refers to the tendency of a mineral to break along specific planes of weakness, which can result in smooth, flat surfaces. The quality of the cleavage can vary depending on the mineral; some exhibit perfect cleavage that produces sharp, clean edges, while others may show less distinct cleavage resulting in rougher surfaces.
