K Feldspar from
Khungtukun Massif, Malaya Romanikha River, Khatanga, Taimyr Peninsula, Taymyrskiy Autonomous Okrug, Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia


Locality type:Massif
Classification
Species:'K Feldspar' (not an IMA approved species)
Comments:Unclear whether this is sanidine or orthoclase, although it is high in Na (up to 0.27 apfu) and some material also contains notable Ba (0.5 wt%). Occurs as scattered anhedral grains in the gabbro and may be the result of some assimilation of argillaceous (pelitic) country rocks.
Confirmation
