What Is Orthoclase Orthoclase is a feldspar mineral with a chemical composition of KAlSi 3 O 8It is one of the most abundant rock forming minerals of the continental crust Orthoclase is most widely known as the pink feldspar found in many granites and as the mineral assigned a hardness of 6 in the Mohs hardness scaleIn glassmaking feldspar provides alumina for improving hardness durability and resistance to chemical corrosion In ceramics feldspar is used as a flux lowering the vitrifying temperature of a ceramic body during firing and forming a glassy phase Glass and ceramics continued to be the major end uses of feldspar
