| General Info: |
The generic term "feldspar" comes from the Germanic term "feldt spat", meaning "mineral with prominent cleavage from the field". It was a prime constituent of many of the rocks over turned by farmers while plowing their fields. The feldspars are made up of three fundamental members and a wide number of chemical mixtures. |
| Additional Information |
| A red colored sunstone that has no “schiller”, only a nice even red color. The colorant is too small and well dispersed to be seen by the naked eye, hence its even, red-colored appearance. |
