Feldspar

What do we mean by feldspar?

Any of a group of abundant rock-forming minerals occurring in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks, and consisting of silicates of aluminum with potassium, sodium, calcium, and, rarely barium. About 60 percent of the earth's outer crust is composed of feldspar. noun

In mineralogy, one of a very common group of closely related minerals, all silicates of aluminium, together with either calcium, sodium, potassium, or in one case barium. noun

A name given to a group of minerals, closely related in crystalline form, and all silicates of alumina with either potash, soda, lime, or, in one case, baryta. They occur in crystals and crystalline masses, vitreous in luster, and breaking rather easily in two directions at right angles to each other, or nearly so. The colors are usually white or nearly white, flesh-red, bluish, or greenish. noun

Any of a large group of rock-forming minerals that, together, make up about 60% of the earth's outer crust. The feldspars are all aluminum silicates of the alkali metals sodium, potassium, calcium and barium. Feldspars are the principal constituents of igneous and plutonic rocks. noun

Any of a group of hard crystalline minerals that consist of aluminum silicates of potassium or sodium or calcium or barium noun

Any of a large group of rock-forming minerals that, together, make up about 60% of the earth's outer crust. The feldspars are all aluminum silicates of the alkali metals sodium, potassium, calcium and barium. Feldspars are the principal constituents of igneous and plutonic rocks.

Feldspar is the name of the main character in the novel "Feldspar's Deathbox". He is a disturbed schizophrenic driven by his demons to "find God". Tireless but not very intelligent, he drags his scar-coated avatar through the wastelands of his imagination to complete his quest. Urban Dictionary

A male or female that works in the scientific field of Geology that makes a little too much noise to Sheldon Cooper’s liking. Urban Dictionary

Played by David Higgins, he is a worker at the Lucky Aide mart on the TV sitcom Malcolm In The Middle. He is a lonely, geeky man with a cat named Jellybean. He also has a huge crush on Lois, despite her being married. Urban Dictionary
