To prevent the crystal from being accidentally damaged, it is better to store it separately from the other treasures. For this purpose, a box or case upholstered with velvet is suitable.

SITE

Pegmatite veins containing orthoclase are found in igneous formations. A rock-forming mineral is found in most cases in the planet's mountainous regions. The most famous sites where fossils are produced are located on the territory of the Scandinavian Peninsula, in Sweden and Norway. In mines in the States, rock is mined. Sri Lanka mines high-quality gemstones, but the finest crystals are supplied to the world market from the adits of Madagascar. There are known deposits in Russia; ornamental stone is mined in the Urals.

HISTORY AND TRADITION

The Earth's crust is composed of 50% feldspars. These are rock-forming minerals that, when they break down, form clay and other sedimentary rocks. Orthoclase belongs to the potassium feldspars, occurs in igneous rocks, and is considered one of the main minerals of pegmatites. Natural stone forms in vein ore during the final phase of magmatic crystallization.

Orthoclase is the most common silicate that grows in combination with quartz, leading to the formation of Jewish stone or “graphic granite”. Syenite pegmatites are found in the Ilmen and Vishnevy Mountains. The mineral was discovered and described at the beginning of the XNUMXth century. century, the German scientist August Breithaupt, who was considered the most famous mineralogist of that time.

The name of the gemstone is determined by its physical properties; cleavage planes at right angles, translated into Greek, sound like “orthoclase”. The name was given to the stone in 1823.

The stone appears translucent, with a pearly sheen on the cleavage surfaces. The structure of the gemstone is not sufficiently dense, which is why it is brittle, but its hardness coefficient is above average. However, the gemstone mineral is cut into beautiful jewelry.
