depending how much sodium, potassium, and/or calcium is available, you can get different feldspars! labradorite is my favorite.
remember: stay OUT of the miscibility gap.
there are NO FELDSPARS in the gap. you can't fit that much calcium and potassium in one feldspar. it's not done.

SCIENCE SATURDAY:OPALIZATION
This is a really simple process. Opalization occurs when silica-rich water gets into cavities. These cavities can simply be holes in rocks or could be pores in bones or wood. Then the water evaporates and leaves behind the silica minerals. Repeatedly. Voila! Opalization.
