…be regarded as mixtures of sodium aluminosilicate (NaAlSi₃O₈) and potassium aluminosilicate (KAlSi₃O₈). Both the sodium and potassium aluminosilicates have several distinct forms, each form with a different structure. The form stable at high temperatures is sanidine (a sodium aluminosilicate), which has a random distribution of aluminum and silicon atoms in…
