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.
Rocks are composed of minerals. Three minerals found in granite are quartz, feldspar and mica. They are present in granite in differing amounts so all granite doesn't look the same.
Quartz, Potassium Feldspar, Plagioclase Feldspar, Muscovite (mica), Biotite (mica), Amphibole (hornblende), Pyroxene, Olivine, Calcite, Dolomite.
The most common minerals in gneiss are quartz, potassium feldspar, and sodium feldspar. Smaller amounts of muscovite, biotite and hornblende are common. Gneiss can also form from gabbro or shale.
Quartz and feldspar are commonly found together in granite and gneiss.
Several minerals form in slow cooling magma. Some of those minerals are quartz, plagioclase feldspar, and potassium feldspar. These are the same minerals that are found in granite.

Granite is an igneous rock. It is commonly formed from the following minerals. Quartz, potassium and Plagioclase Feldspars and Biotite Mica.
Bands.
Yes, Granite is composed mainly of quartz and potassium feldspar

Mostly feldspar and quartz
Fluorite does not go with the others. It belongs to Halide minerals, while the others (quartz, feldspar, and hornblende) belong to Silicate family of minerals.
Magma solidifies into a combination of minerals that are collectively called igneous rock. Minerals common in igneous rock are potassium feldspar, plagioclase feldspar, muscovite and biotite mica, quartz, hornblende, olivine, and magnetite.
