	The majority of feldspars may be classified chemically as members of the ternary system NaAlSi3O8-KAlSi3O8-CaAl2Si2O8. These compositions are referred to as sodium, potassium and calcium feldspar respectively. Members of the series between NaAlSi3O8 and KAlSi3O8 are called alkali feldspars, and those between NaAlSi3O8 and CaAl2Si2O8 are plagioclase feldspars.
