feldspar had long been foreshadowed on theoretical grounds (see Barker, 1964) but the mineral was not found in natural environments until comparatively recent times. The initial discovery was at the Sulphur Bank mercury mine, California, by Erd et al. (1964), who established the composition as
World mine production is about 23 Mt/year with Turkey (30%) and Italy (20%) being the major producers. The Australian production about 94 000 t/year is dominated by Western Australia. In addition to this, ~50 000 t/year of a quartzfeldspar blend are produced for use in glassmaking by crushing granite near Beechworth, Victoria.
Feldspar is an important source of alumina in the glassmaking and the ceramics industries. In ceramics, it acts as a flux and provides the vitreous lustre of chinaware and ceramic tiles. It is used in glazes and enamels and is an important mineral filler in paints, plastics, sealants, and adhesives.
