Feldspar is a group formation of many minerals which form about
sixty percent of the Earths crust. Feldspar originally comes
from the German name "feld" which means fiel and Spat which
means a group of rock formation. This rock nowadays has many
different uses. It is used for example as raw material in the
production of ceramic tiles, in a household cleaner called "bon
ami", and also as a glazing material. The rock seen on the
picture is one of the feldspar rocks as it contains the mineral
necessary. The rock has been gradually eroded throughout time
and came to be a beautiful site in the desert of Uluru in
Australia. The feldspar of many types of granite is core enough
to be visible to the naked-eye. When exploring then just observe
carefully and it will seem like the rock is centuries old. |
