Forms, Open and Closed. Any group of crystal faces related by the same symmetry is called a form. There are 47 or 48 crystal forms depending on the classification used.
Although calcite and potassium feldspar may potassium feldspars typically form Sanidine has a less ordered crystal structure than orthoclase and is
These orthoclase crystals are very sharp, and of a modest size rather than big and clunky, which creates a very aesthetic balance with the smokies.
