Extract

A Chemical analysis of this felspar, to which our attention was directed by Professor Bonney, and which was subsequently described on crystallographic and optical grounds as orthoclase, shows it to be a sodapotash felspar of somewhat peculiar composition.

In the following table, the first two columns give the results obtained on analysis (Fletcher) of two loose crystals, of which the second was a twincrystal of lighter eolour than the first; the next two columns represent the same analyses if the oxide of iron (present as visible enclosures) and the loss on ignition are neglected; the numbers in the fifth column are obtained by taking the means of the numbers in the two preceding columns.
