What type of cleavage does feldspar have?
Plagioclase feldspar is a non-metallic mineral. It has 2 cleavages at nearly right angles. It is also differentiated from potassium feldspar because it contains striations. Potassium feldspar has 2 cleavages at nearly right angles.
What is the fracture of feldspar?
Feldspar's fracture is brittle
Skin cuts parallel gape less?
cleavage lines
What is a Minerals ability to split easily along a flat surface?
Cleavage .
What are the 5 properties?
the 5 properties are cleavage hardness luster color streak
Step like cleavage is a property of what mineral?
feldspar
Is a cleavage a property of a mineral?
feldspar
What common mineral breaks with cleavage?
Feldspar.
Which mineral has a hardness of 6 and has cleavage?
Orthoclase Feldspar.
What is Feldspars cleavage?
2 at 90 degreesHere is a discussion on feldspar.It says it has uneven fracture and cleavage in 2 directions.http://www.theimage.com/mineral/feldspar/index.htm

What mineral properties would you use to tell the difference between quartz and feldspar?
Cleavage and Fracture
Examines a mineral's ability to break into even pieces?
Cleavage is a minerals ability to break into even pieces useful for identification. Cleavage in two directions equals Feldspar for example.
How does the cleavage of feldspar differ from the cleavage of mica?
Biotite (black mica) and muscovite (white mica) are both minerals that have perfect basal cleavage--one direction. It cleaves into thin sheets. Feldspars (albite, oligoclase, andesine, labradorite, bytownite, anorthite) have good cleavage in two directions at nearly right angles, poor in a third direction.
The mineral family that includes the most common and most abundant mineralssmooth cleavage surfaces aid in identification?
feldspar : this family includes the most common and most abundant of all minerals; smooth cleavage surfaces aid in identification
The mineral family that includes the most common and most abundant minerals smooth cleavage surfaces aid in identification hematite Kaolinite Kaolin?
Feldspar
What is the difference between plagioclase and orthoclase rock?
They are identical (hardness, streak, ect) barring the chemical composition however plagioclase has striations on the cleavage surface.
