Reading Characteristics of Sedimentary Rocks Geology
Feldspars are the most common type of mineral in earths crust and are also abundant in many clastic sediments and sedimentary rocks. Although feldspar is a fairly hard mineral, it does cleave (split apart) and is chemically reactive, especially in the presence of water.

Albite and Anorthite are the end members of the series, with the intermediary minerals Oligoclase, Andesine, Labradorite, and Bytownite. The acclaimed Danas System of Mineralogy lists the intermediary members as

Reading Physical Characteristics of Minerals Geology
Another special property is magnetism. This can be tested by seeing if a small magnet responds to the mineral. The most common mineral that is strongly magnetic is the mineral magnetite. A special property that shows up in some sample of plagioclase feldspar is its tendency to exhibit striations on cleavage surfaces.

Plagioclase Feldspar A group of common rockforming
What is Plagioclase? Plagioclase is the name of a group of feldspar minerals that form a solid solution series ranging from pure albite, Na(AlSi 3 O 8), to pure anorthite, Ca(Al 2 Si 2 O 8).Minerals in this series are a homogenous mixture of albite and anorthite. The names of the minerals in the series are arbitrarily given based upon their relative abundance of albite and

What Is Moonstone Gemstone Moonstone Stone GIA
Moonstone is a variety of the feldspar-group mineral orthoclase. During formation, orthoclase and albite separate into alternating layers. When light falls between these thin layers it is scattered producing the phenomenon called adularescence. Adularescence is the light that appears to billow across a gem.

Arkose Sedimentary Rocks
Plagioclase feldspar is also clearly less resistant to weathering than K-feldspar, so its chances to survive as a sand grain are not that good. Swauk arkose in Washington State (USA) is an example of arkose sandstone where plagioclase is the dominant feldspar. It is presumably derived from a quartz dioritic source 2.
