ALBITE FOR SALE

Albite is a plagioclase feldspar mineral with the chemical composition Na(AlSi3O8) in its pure form. It is a major component of granite and granitic pegmatites, and often forms in association with quartz, orthoclase, muscovite, hornblende, and biotite. In most cases the crystals are white to colorless, although it has been known to display red, green and blue hues depending on impurities present during formation. Albite earned its name from the Latin word "albus", meaning white, for its most common color.
