Source: Webster's dictionaryThere are several named plagioclase feldspars that fall between albite and anorthite in the series. Source: Internet
Feldspar (Amazonite) Perthite is either microcline or orthoclase with thin lamellae of exsolved albite. Source: Internet
Some intergrowths of orthoclase and albite have an attractive pale luster and are called moonstone when used in jewellery. Source: Internet
Intermediate members of this series, high albite, anorthoclase and high sodium sanidine are stable at temperatures of convert and above. Source: Internet
In this case, the solubility of albite is expected to depend on the solid-to-solvent ratio. Source: Internet
The following table shows their compositions in terms of constituent anorthite and albite percentages. Source: Internet
