Feldspar - Wikipedia
The term 'felsic', meaning light coloured minerals such as quartz and feldspars, is an acronymic word derived from fel dspar and si lica, unrelated to the obsolete spelling 'felspar'. Weathering [ edit] Chemical weathering of feldspars happens by hydrolysis and produces clay minerals, including illite, smectite, and kaolinite.
