A rock-forming mineral, feldspar crystallizes from magma and as igneous rocks, is present in many types of metamorphic rock, and is found in many types of sedimentary rocks. It is a common raw material used in glassmaking, ceramics, and as a filler in some processed products such as paint.
In glassmaking, feldspar improves hardness, durability, and resistance to corrosion from chemicals. In ceramics, it acts as a flux, lowering the melting temperature of a mixture, forming a glassy matric that bonds the other components together.
Feldspars can be found in colors from pink, white, grey, brown, and blue.
