Sanidine is a polymorph of alkali feldspar stable Orthoclase, or orthoclase feldspar (endmember formula K Al Si 3 O 8), is an important tectosilicate mineral which forms igneous rock.The name is from the Ancient Greek for "straight fracture," because its two cleavage planes are at right angles to each other. Intrusive rock is formed when magma penetrates existing rock, crystallizes, and solidifies underground to form intrusions, such as batholiths, dikes, sills, laccoliths, and volcanic necks.. Intrusion is one of the two ways igneous rock can form. The crystal has four vertical faces and a square cross section.

Trachyte (/ t r e k a t, t r k a t /) is an extrusive igneous rock composed mostly of alkali feldspar.It is usually light-colored and aphanitic (fine-grained), with minor amounts of mafic minerals, and is formed by the rapid cooling of lava enriched with silica and alkali metals.

Thin section shows part of a large garnet poikiloblast with an adjacent matrix of cordierite, biotite, K-feldspar, and quartz. Identificationof rock-forming minerals in thin section is a key skill needed by all earth science students and practising geologists. Rock that contains greater than 75% ash is considered tuff, while rock containing 25% to 75% ash is described as tuffaceous (for example, tuffaceous sandstone). It contains long needles of plagioclase (sodium-calcium feldspar), augitic pyroxenes, some olivine and small black cubic magnetite crystals. Zoning can also be detected using a scanning electron microscope. Figure 10.13 shows a green prismatic crystal of apophyllite, a zeolite. Tuff is a type of rock made of volcanic ash ejected from a vent during a volcanic eruption.Following ejection and deposition, the ash is lithified into a solid rock.
