FELDSPAR

(Alternate Names: Potassium Feldspar, Plagioclase (group name))

Appearance

Feldspar is one of the quiet builders of the world—typically appearing in soft whites, creams, pale pinks, grays, or peach tones. Opaque to slightly translucent, it often forms blocky crystals or massive stone with a matte to faintly pearly luster. Some varieties display subtle shimmer, but most feel solid, unassuming, and foundational.

This is a stone that looks like structure doing its job without asking for attention.

Earth — structure, containment, physical reality, endurance.

This stone supports magic that must last, not impress.

Myth & Lore

Feldspar makes up a significant portion of the Earth’s crust, quietly supporting mountains, continents, and civilizations alike. While rarely mythologized as a gemstone, its omnipresence granted it symbolic meaning in modern practice as a stone of foundation—the unseen support beneath more dramatic forces.

In metaphysical traditions, Feldspar is regarded as a maintenance stone: one that stabilizes magic already in motion and prevents energetic collapse over time.

How to Tell Real from Fake

Real Feldspar:
– Soft, earthy coloration
– Blocky or massive crystal structure
– Grounded, stone-heavy feel

Common mislabels:

– Resin composites

If it feels structural rather than ornamental, it’s likely genuine.

Affirmation

Work with Feldspar when magic needs a backbone—this stone knows how to hold things steady long after the spark has faded.
