It varies from 2.52 - 2.74 grams/cc (Orthoclas=2.52 Anorthite=2.74)
The density varies to heavier with greater amounts of Sodium or Calcium and lighter for Potassium Feldspar (Orthoclase)
A steel nail can scratch feldspar but not quartz. Feldspar has a hardness of 6 on the Mohs scale, while quartz has a hardness of 7.
Granite contains plagioclase feldspar and potassium feldspar. It really depends on the composition of the magma from which it forms. If the granite has a lot of pink in it, chances are it is potassium feldspar (K-Spar). If it is dominated by white, then the feldspar is probably plag.
Orothoclase Feldspar belong to the silicates group.
The scientific name for feldspar is a group name that encompasses several different minerals. The most common type of feldspar found in Earth's crust is potassium feldspar, which has the scientific name KAlSi3O8.
No, talc is softer than feldspar on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. Talc has a hardness of 1 while feldspar has a hardness of 6-6.5, which means that feldspar is resistant to being scratched by talc.
