Feldspar is a common raw material used in glassmaking, ceramics, and to some extent as a filler and extender in paint, plastics, and rubber. In glassmaking, alumina from feldspar improves product hardness, durability, and resistance to chemical corrosion.
Feldspar, any of a group of aluminosilicate minerals that contain calcium, sodium, or potassium. Feldspard make up more than half of Earth crust, and professional literature about them constitutes a large percentage of the literature of mineralogy.
Of the more than 3,000 known mineral species, less than 0.1 percent make up the bulk of Earth crust and mantle. These and an additional score of minerals serve as the basis for naming most of the rocks exposed on Earth surface.
Description and Identifying Characteristics Feldsparis derived from the German word feld,which means field, and spar, which means crystal. This name reflects the minerals abundance, as most crystalline material found in the field is feldspar. Potassium feldspard are the feldspar minerals in which the silicate tetrahedral and aluminum tetrahedra are bound with potassium ions, rather than sodium or calcium ions as in the plagioclase feldspar subgroup. The potassium feldspar group is composed of three mineral polymorphs, each having the same chemical composition, but slightly different crystal structures.
Technically these are distinct minerals, but their physical properties are so similar that they are usually only identified as potassium feldspar in the field. Using other minerals in the rock to determine the host rocks identity is often the most useful guide to their probable identity. felsic plutonic igneous rocks and metamorphic rocks Microcline

POTASSIUM FELDSPAR & SODIUM FELDSPAR
We offer best quality of potassium & Sodium feldspar in form of:
1. Granular Particles
2. Powder form
3. Lump form
We are engaged in mining FELDSPAR from our own mines which is generally a clean white mineral that sources sodium, alumina and silica along with some potassium and calcium.We are manufacturing it in different sizes using our updated machineries and production lines. Our company is offering it at affordable prices.
