Abstract Hydrothermal circulations through the Velay granite, France, induced extensive mineral reactions in some of its igneous enclaves. K-feldspar is partly or completely replaced by myrmekite-like quartz-plagioclase intergrowths (QPI) and primary plagioclase by secondary, quartz-free plagioclase.

In many cases, the primary oligoclase-andesine is replaced by secondary plagioclase from higher Na composition to albite (An 2-10) or albite-epidote-sericite aggregate. Amphibolites containing mainly sodic plagioclase are characterized by the presence of quartz and mentioned above trend of amphibole toward the tremolite/ferroactinolite ...

The replacement of one feldspar by another in nature, whether it be plagioclase replaced by K-feldspar or by albite, is frequently associated with the precipitation of hematite, which gives these feldspars a pink color.

The feldspar minerals can be grouped, according to bulk composition, into potassium-rich feldspar (K-feldspar) and Na- or Ca-rich species (plagioclase). While the series of plagioclase contains all fractions of Na and Ca, there is a mixing gap for K-feldspar. Only a limited fraction of K+ can be replaced by Na+ or Ca2+.

Typically, albitized plagioclase phenocrysts occur in an intergranular to intersortal groundmass of albite, chlorite, quartz, dense granular sphene, and variable amounts of subhedral to acicular opaque minerals.

The three main feldspar minerals are potassium feldspar, (a.k.a. K-feldspar or K-spar) and two types of plagioclase feldspar: albite (sodium only) and anorthite (calcium only). As is the case for iron and magnesium in olivine, there is a continuous range of compositions (solid solution series) between albite and anorthite in plagioclase.

Introduction to Igneous Rocks. An igneous rock is any crystalline or glassy rock that forms from cooling of a magma.. A magma consists mostly of liquid rock matter, but may contain crystals of various minerals, and may contain a gas phase that may be dissolved in the liquid or may be present as a separate gas phase.. Magma can cool to form an igneous rock either on the surface of the Earth ...
