Feldspar Distinctions, Characteristics & Identification
Feldspars are hard minerals, all of them with a hardness of 6 on the Mohs scale. This lies between the hardness of a steel knife (5.5) and the hardness of quartz (7). In fact, feldspar is the standard for hardness 6 in the Mohs scale. Feldspars usually are white or nearly white, though they may be clear or light shades of orange or buff.

Potash Feldspar
A feldspar is typically referred to as 'potash' if there is significantly more potassium than sodium (typically there will be 2-5% Na 2 O ). If the amounts are closer to equal they are termed potash-soda feldspars (or vice versa). Of course, real potash feldspars also have small amounts of CaO, MgO, Fe 2 O 3, etc.
