Feldspar is the name of a large group of rock-forming silicate minerals that make up over 50% of Earth's crust. [1] They are found in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks in all parts of the world. Feldspar minerals have very similar structures, chemical compositions, and physical properties.

 — Taita residents eye fortune from quartz mining after years of crop failure. Perennial drought, hunger and human-wildlife conflicts, have been constant realities confronting Kishushe area. Over...

 — Heavy mineral sands, dolomite, feldspar, and refractory clay such as kaolin find applications in both construction and industrial sectors. Granite, granitoids, gravel, grey whacke, grits, gneisses, and other geological formations serve as valuable materials for construction projects.

 — Feldspar is one of the most common minerals found in the Earth's crust, and it forms some really fascinating varieties. Amazonite, orthoclase, and microcline are great examples of the types of feldspar, each with their own unique appeal and characteristics.

 — In Kenya, both limestone and feldspar are important materials for many industries. Whether you are involved in construction, manufacturing, or any other industry that requires these materials,...

From the analysis done it indicted that the feldspar in the area was alkali feldspar from AAS and a relatively new method of selective staining of k-feldspar and plagioclase on rock slabs and thin sections.

 — Fluorspar. Fluorspar is a mineral found in Kimwarer, Keiyo sub-county inside the Kerio Valley Basin. Fluorspar mining had been carried out for 50 years before grinding to a halt in 2016. Kenya Fluorspar Company was the single company that had operations in the fluorspar fields in Kimwarer.

 — Fluorspar, used in the manufacture of fluoride for cooling plants, was for decades mined in the 970- acre swathe of Kimwarer, Keiyo South sub-county, forming part of the riches of Kerio Valley...

This study examined the physico-chemical parameters of feldspars found in Marimanti, Tharaka Nithi county in Kenya with the aim of determining their fluxing capabilities. This was achieved through the use of ab-initio theoretical computations and experimental investigation into phases, morphology and thermal stability.
