Orthoclase (Feldspar KAlSi3O8)
Subcategory: Oxide, Silicon; Oxide, Aluminum; Oxide
Key Words: Orthoclase (Feldspar KAlSi3O8)
Material Notes: Two cleavage directions. Weathering end product(s): Kaolinite illite. An important rock forming mineral occuring in basic igneous (granite, syeite, granodiorite) and metamorphic. All feldspars are good indicators of the rock freshness. Property values are typical of naturally occurring Orthoclase (Feldspar KAlSi3O8). Actual property values will vary from sample to sample.
