Semi Precious Stone Feldspar Bracelet

Feldspar is the name of an significant group of rock-forming minerals which make up perhaps as much as 65% of the Earth's crust. Feldspars crystallize from magma in both invasive and extrusive rocks; they occur as compact minerals, as veins, and are also in attendance in many types of metamorphic rock. Rock formed completely of plagioclase feldspar is known as anorthosite. Feldspars are also found in many types of sedimentary rock.

Feldspar is resulting from the German Feld, field, and Spat, a rock that does not hold ore. Feldspathic refers to materials that contain feldspar.
