Difference Between Quartz and Feldspar Difference Between
Jun 16, 2010 Feldspar has been derived from 'Feld' (meaning field) and Spath (meaning rock which does not contain ore). 4. Feldspars are normally lightcolored, including pink, white, tan, gray or green. The colour of feldspar varies because of the presence of impurities. On the other hand, quartz looks colourless or

Rocks make up the majority of the Earth's crust. One of the most common rock is granite. The four minerals that make up granite are feldspar, quartz, mica, and hornblende. Granite was formed when magma cooled slowly forming crystals of the four minerals that make up the rock granite. Rock Lesson Granite 1. Look at the

This breakage pattern is called cleavage, and feldspar has two directions of cleavage that meet at close to a 90 degree angle (just like a stairway). If you see little sparkles when you look at the rock, the flashes may be the light reflecting off the mirrorlike cleavage surfaces. Quartz has no cleavage (it breaks with a conchoidal

In addition to quartz there are usually phenocrysts of feldspar, mostly orthoclase, though a varying amount of plagioclase is often present. The feldspars are usually full and cloudy from the formation of secondary kaolin and muscovite throughout their substance. Their crystals are larger than those of quartz and sometimes
