Feldspar is a mineral that is found in igneous rocks. Potassium feldspar is one of the minerals in granite, while plagioclase feldspar is found in andesitic rock.

Live ChatOre can accumulate through geologic activity, such as when volcanoes bring ore from deep in the planet to the surface. This is called an internal process. Ore can also accumulate when seawater circulates through cracks in Earths crust and deposits minerals in the areas around hydrothermal vents. This is called a hydrothermal process.
Live ChatThe word feldspar is derived form the word Feldspat, of German origin. This word is used to represent a rock which doesnt bear any ore component. Feldspars are aluminum silicates comprising barium, sodium, calcium, or potassium. The term silicate stands for a combination of silicon and oxygen.
Live ChatIn Nova Scotia, the ore is in saddle reefs, in anticlines of folded quartzite and slate at places where crossfolds cause a dome shape. These rocks, of preCambrian age, are cut by bodies of granite of Devonian age. The veins are very numerous, and lie mostly in the slate close to quartzite.
