THE MINERAL ALBITE ... Albite is the last of the feldspars to crystallize from molten rock. The process of crystallization from a molten rock body serves to isolate rarer elements in the last stages of crystallization and therefore produces rare mineral species.

Information on the plagioclase feldspar mineral albite ... If calcium replaces more than 10 percent of the sodium, the mineral is not Albite, but a different member of the Plagioclase Feldspar group. If potassium replaces more than 10 percent of the sodium, the mineral is not Albite, but Anorthoclase.

Albite is comprised of an interconnected framework of three SiO4 and one AlO4 tetrahedra, with all oxygens shared between tetrahedra. The remaining negative charge is balanced by Na+, which fills larger voids in the structure.

Massive white albite was recognized by Larsen and Shannon (220), as the chief gangue of bustamite crystals from Franklin. Although this albite was said to present some unusual features, no detailed statement of its character has been published.
