  2. Alkali feldspar granite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkali_feldspar_granite

    Alkali feldspar granite, some varieties of which are called 'red granite', [1] is a felsic igneous rock and a type of granite rich in the mineral potassium feldspar (K-spar). It is a dense rock with a phaneritic texture. The abundance of K-spar gives the rock a predominant pink to reddish hue; peppered with minor amounts of black minerals. [2] [3]

    The flashes are due to labradorescent internal reflections, sometimes called a moonstone effect. In early reports [17] [18] this mineral was mistakenly identified as labradorite. Cryptoperthite textures form when orthoclase (a feldspar mineral containing both potassium and sodium cations) is quenched very rapidly.

    The most common texture in Western music: melody and accompaniment. Multiple voices of which one, the melody, stands out prominently and the others form a background of harmonic accompaniment. If all the parts have much the same rhythm, the homophonic texture can also be described as homorhythmic.

    Feldspar (/ ˈ f ɛ l (d) ˌ s p ɑːr / FEL(D)-spar; sometimes spelled felspar) is a group of rock-forming aluminium tectosilicate minerals, also containing other cations such as sodium, calcium, potassium, or barium. [3] The most common members of the feldspar group are the plagioclase (sodium-calcium) feldspars and the alkali (potassium ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_feldspar

    Potassium feldspar refers to a number of minerals in the feldspar group that contain large amounts of potassium in the crystal lattice. Orthoclase (endmember formula K Al Si 3 O 8), an important tectosilicate mineral that forms igneous rock; Microcline, chemically the same as orthoclase, but with a different crystalline structure

    Potassium is a chemical element; it has symbol K (from Neo-Latin kalium) and atomic number 19. It is a silvery white metal that is soft enough to easily cut with a knife. [9] Potassium metal reacts rapidly with atmospheric oxygen to form flaky white potassium peroxide in only seconds of exposure.
