  1. Alkali Feldspar

    Linked via "kinetic trapping effects"

    Alkali feldspars crystallize within the monoclinic or triclinic systems, depending on cooling history. The high-temperature form, sanidine, belongs to the monoclinic crystal system, characterized by relatively disordered aluminum and silicon positioning within the tetrahedral sites ($\text{T}$-sites). Upon slow cooling, the structure inverts to the triclinic form, [microcline](/entrie…
