Orthoclase is a mineral that belongs to the family of silicate minerals called feldspar. The deference between the feldspars and the other silicates is that the former contain a mixture of the following chemical elements: Potassium K, Calcium Ca and Sodium Na, in addition to the usual constituents of the quartz based minerals, such as Aluminum, Al, silicon Si and oxygen O.

Orthoclase crystal, as its name already indicates, is a member of the orthoclase feldspars, The most important feature of this class is that they contain K and Na, in contrast to Ca and Na contained in the plagioclase.

A typical orthoclase is a solid solution of KAlSi3O8 and albite NaAlSi3O8. The origin of its name is probably from the Greek name for "right cleave", since the two cleavage planes of this stone are perpendicular to each other.

Dear Syed,

Thank you for your comprehensive information on orthoclase, its properties and other uses.

Obviously some form of alteration has changed these pink crystals and it looks like they have been cut into shreds. They still look prominent and this stone is worth a lot. I wondered if anyone else has seen a similar texture.

Thank again!

Dear Aparna,

This granite rock looks distinctive, because of its pink crystals that have taken a unique texture. It is well priced and is quarried for counter tops, grave stones, buildings, etc.

When you see such rocks, one admires the power of nature and its talent of shaping the ingredients of rocks into colourful crystals.
