Rubidian microcline from Red Cross Lake, northeastern Manitoba [PDF]
Dark grey, slightly perthitic and grid-twinned to non-perthitic and Baveno-twinned, near-maximum rubidian microcline occurs in sheared dikes of pollucite-bearing pegmatites at Red Cross Lake, northeastern Manitoba.

Rubidium-rich feldspars and associated minerals from the Luolamäki pegmatite, Somero, Finland [PDF]
Rubidium feldspar occurs near the core zone of the highly fractionated petalite-subtype Luolamäki granitic pegmatite in intimate intergrowth with other feldspars which are part of a characteristic sequence of alteration of pollucite.

Ice nucleation activity of silicates and aluminosilicates in pure water and aqueous solutions – Part 1: The K-feldspar microcline [PDF]
Potassium-containing feldspars (K-feldspars) have been considered as key mineral dusts for ice nucleation (IN) in mixed-phase clouds. To investigate the effect of solutes on their IN efficiency, we performed immersion freezing experiments with the K ...

Ice nucleation properties of K-feldspar polymorphs and plagioclase feldspars [PDF]
The relation between the mineralogical characteristics of size-selected feldspar particles from 50 to 800 nm and their ability to act as ice-nucleating particles (INPs) in the immersion mode is presented.

The Tonigala granite, N. W. Ceylon [PDF]
A pink, microcline granite at Tonigala in north-western Ceylon occurs as a concordant sheet, one to two miles wide and about 10 miles long, in a complex of migmatitic and granitic biotite and biotite-hornblende gneisses belonging to the PreCambrian ...
