Sand Mineral particles consisting mainly of quartz, felspar, and mica, and measuring between 2 and 0.05mm in diameter. 主要由石英、长石、云母等矿物微粒构成,其直径在0.05~2mm之间。
Feldspars (KAlSi3O8 – NaAlSi3O8 – CaAl2Si2O8) are a group of rock-forming tectosilicate minerals that make up as much as 60% of the Earth's crust.
Feldspars crystallize from magma as veins in both intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks and are also present in many types of metamorphic rock. Rock formed almost entirely of calcic plagioclase feldspar (see below) is known as anorthosite. Feldspars are also found in many types of sedimentary rocks.
