Perthite is used to describe an intergrowth of two feldspars: a host grain of
potassium-rich alkali
feldspar (near K-feldspar, KAlSi3O8, in composition) includes exsolved lamellae or irregular intergrowths of sodic alkali feldspar (near albite, NaAlSi3O8, in composition). Typically the host grain is orthoclase or
microcline, and the
lamellae are albite. If sodic feldspar is the dominant phase, the result is an antiperthite.
