Abstract
No study of feldspars should be undertaken without thorough optical examination. It is essential for an overall survey of morphology, texture and twinning and for the choice of the best material for more sophisticated methods with spatial resolution better than ~ 1 μ/m, such as transmission electron microscopy, or for nonspatial methods.
