Is orthoclase a rock or a mineral?
Orthoclase feldspar is a tectosilicate mineral which is most commonly found in igneous rock. It has a Mohs hardness of 6 and has two cleavage planes which occur at right angles to each other. It is the potassium endmember of the feldspar group of minerals and is also referred to as alkali feldspar or K-spar. Orthoclase will appear in colors from white to deep pink, but has a white streak.
What form is potassium found in?
Potassium is commonly found in nature in its ionic form as potassium ions (K+). In biological systems, potassium is often found in compounds such as potassium chloride (KCl), potassium carbonate (K2CO3), and potassium hydroxide (KOH).

Is potassium a vitamin or mineral?
Potassium is found on the periodic table of the elements as "K". In its elemental pure form it can be called a mineral. Elemental potassium is explosive and highly reactive with water, oxygen or halogens. Potassium can exist in bananas without exploding because the potassium is within a compound (combined with other atoms/molecules). For example potassium chloride (KCl) can be used as a replacement for table salt. The human digestion process breaks apart the KCl and combines it into other compounds so systems in the body can extract the Elemental potassium. Vitamins are compounds, many vitamins contain the mineral potassium in them.
