Quartz grains tend to be translucent gray, rounded to irregular blobs. The lack of a cleavage means their exposed surfaces are rounded and bumpy. K-feldspar and plagioclase are blocky, not translucent, and show flat cleavage surfaces. They occur in shades of opaque pink, white, gray, or dark gray. Early-formed feldspars tend to be rectangular ...Web
