Feldspar | Formula, Properties & Application
Feldspar is a tectosilicate mineral, referring to a class of silicate minerals built from tetrahedral molecules where silicon and oxygen atoms form a three-dimensional framework. Its chemical formula is often given as XAl1-2Si3-4O8, where X represents a combination of sodium (Na), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), or barium (Ba).

Feldspar Distinctions, Characteristics & Identification
Feldspars are hard minerals, all of them with a hardness of 6 on the Mohs scale. This lies between the hardness of a steel knife (5.5) and the hardness of quartz (7). In fact, feldspar is the standard for hardness 6 in the Mohs scale. Feldspars usually are white or nearly white, though they may be clear or light shades of orange or buff.

Feldspar
Feldspar is the most abundant mineral group in the Earth's crust. There are more feldspars (60%) than all the other minerals combined in the outer (13-17) km of the crust 1. Feldspars occur in most igneous and metamorphic rocks. They are less common in sedimentary rocks as they tend to break down to clay minerals in the weathering environment.
