The 26 pages that link to Feldspar, each with the reason it gives.

• GraniteRelated: Feldspar commonly makes up most of granite’s light-colored grains.

• SandstoneRelated: Abundant feldspar can identify sandstone derived from rapidly eroding granitic rocks.

• PorcelainRelated: It acts as a flux, helping porcelain vitrify during firing.

• Ceramic glazeRelated: Feldspars supply several ingredients that help a glaze form glass in a kiln.

• PegmatiteRelated: Feldspar commonly forms conspicuously large crystals in pegmatite.

• Optically stimulated luminescenceRelated: Feldspar grains can record burial through luminescence, though their signal may fade over time.

• GneissRelated: Feldspars commonly occur with quartz in gneiss’s light layers.

• KaoliniteRelated: Feldspar is a common parent mineral from which kaolinite forms.

• Thermoluminescence datingRelated: Feldspar can be dated by luminescence, though anomalous fading may complicate its signal.

• Bone chinaRelated: Feldspar helps the body vitrify during firing, contributing to density and translucency.

• GranuliteRelated: Feldspars commonly form much of granulite’s light-colored mineral framework.
