| Abstract: | The Storm King granite at Bear Mountain, New York contains coarse alkali feldspar mesoperthite. The microstructure of these perthites grades continuously from lamellae to isolated blebs. The K rich phase in all samples has a nerely constant composition (Õr97Ab3), but the Na-rich phase ranges from An3.8 (lamellae) to An21 (blebs). It is suggested that the more calcium-rich feldspars exsolved at a higher temperature and thus experienced a longer time at higher temperature, during which the microstructure became more bleby or spherical in response to minimization of the interfacial energy. Lack of perfect correlation of the microstructure with bulk composition, as well as variation in the Al/Si ordering, may be due to additional factors, of which water activity or concentration is the most likely. |
