The group of minerals in Feldspar contain framework tectosilicates. The compositions of the major elements in the usual feldspars can be identified by three endmembers: Potassium-Feldspar, Albite, and Anorthite.

Are feldspar and quartz carbonates?
Feldspar and quartz are not carbonates (carbonate minerals). They are silicates because they have Silica (Si) in the formula. Quartz is SiO2. Feldspar is a mineral group (feldspars) They have a variable composition that gneerally depends on the amount of Ca, Na or K in their chemical formula. An example of feldspar is Albite NaAlSi3O8. Carbonates have CO3 in their chemical formula. Two examples are Calcite (CaCO3) and Siderite (FeCO3).

Granite contains Quartz and Plagioclase Feldspar and Gabbro does not have neither if these minerals in it.
