P Series;; plagioclase feldspar - mineral #15AB6 The Plagioclase feldspars are important rock-forming minerals and occur in numerous mineral environments. In many instances, it is very hard to tell apart one from another. When a particular Plagioclase Feldspar cannot be identified, it is simply called "Plagioclase"
