Feb 27, 2012 (A Wilson) - Approximately only 10-15% of the feldspar is pure. When pure both microcline and albite occur in 0.3-0.6 m masses surrounded by quartz-feldspar intergrowth. Pure quartz occurs only in blebs between the feldspar masses. The grain size and the quartz quantity both increase toward the centre of the dike.
