  • Feldspar Specific Gravity: Types & Values Explained
    The specific gravity of feldspar is approximately 2.55 to 2.75.

    However, it's important to note that the specific gravity can vary slightly depending on the specific type of feldspar:

    * Albite (NaAlSi3O8): 2.62

    * Orthoclase (KAlSi3O8): 2.56

    * Microcline (KAlSi3O8): 2.57

    * Anorthite (CaAl2Si2O8): 2.76

    These are just examples, and the specific gravity can be influenced by factors like mineral composition, impurities, and crystal structure.
