Orthoclase crystal, as its name already indicates, is a member of the orthoclase feldspars, The most important feature of this class is that they contain K and Na, in contrast to Ca and Na contained in the plagioclase.

A typical orthoclase is a solid solution of KAlSi3O8 and albite NaAlSi3O8. The origin of its name is probably from the Greek name for "right cleave", since the two cleavage planes of this stone are perpendicular to each other.

Breathe in through your nose while counting from 1 to 7. Keep your breath while counting to 7 and feel your body with pink air from head to toe.
