| 1. | In the alkali feldspar almost pure albite domains are observed.
|
| 2. | Less quartz content would lead to " quartz alkali feldspar syenite ".
|
| 3. | They are angular intergrowths of quartz and alkali feldspar.
|
| 4. | Minerals in the tonalite are quartz, plagioclase, alkali feldspar and hornblende.
|
| 5. | Alkali feldspar may be present in minor amounts.
|
| 6. | The alkali feldspar is confined to the groundmass.
|
| 7. | Alkali feldspar dominates, commonly represented by orthoclase and the exsolved lamellar albite, form perthite.
|
| 8. | Dark rounded alkali feldspars, typically one centimeter or less in diameter, dominate this rock.
|
| 9. | If the rock has a greater percentage of alkali feldspar, it grades into a syenite.
|
| 10. | More than 90 % of the total feldspar content is in the form of alkali feldspar.
