Get PriceAdularia is a K-feldspar produced by low-temperature hydrothermal (veins) or authigenic processes. It is structurally similar to microcline but without the cross-hatched twinning. Anorthoclase is the only alkali feldspar that is not K-feldspar. It is sodic in composition, optically triclinic and characterized by a twinning similar to microcline
Get PriceFeb 18, 2021Potassium feldspar or K-feldspar varies in crystal structure depending on its crystallization temperature. Microcline is the stable form of potassium feldspar below about 400 C. Orthoclase and sanidine are stable above 500 C and 900 C, respectively, but they endure as long as they need to at the surface as metastable species.

The albitization of K-feldspar is a diagenetic process in which K-feldspar loses K and gains Na simultaneously, and hence converts to albite [9–11].
