Albite | Feldspar, Plagioclase, Silicate - Britannica
albite, common feldspar mineral , a sodium aluminosilicate (NaAlSi 3 O 8 ) that occurs most widely in pegmatites and felsic igneous rocks such as granites. It may also be found in low-grade metamorphic rocks and as authigenic albite in certain sedimentary varieties.

Perthite
Typically, the host grain is orthoclase or microcline, and the lamellae are albite. The intergrowth forms by exsolution due to cooling of a grain of alkali feldspar with a composition intermediate between K-feldspar and albite.

Paragonite
Paragonite is a common mineral in rocks metamorphosed under blueschist facies conditions along with other sodic minerals such as albite, jadeite and glaucophane During the transition from blueschist to greenschist facies, paragonite and glaucophane are transformed into chlorite and albite.

Plagioclase
Sunstone is mainly oligoclase (sometimes albite) with flakes of hematite. Albite is an end member of both the alkali and plagioclase series.

Sanidine
Sanidine and high albite constitute a solid solution series with intermediate compositions termed anorthoclase. Exsolution of an albite phase does occur; resulting cryptoperthite can best be observed in electron microprobe images.
