Abstract
Albite in granites commonly occurs adjacent to K feldspar, either as rims on oligoclase or as small scattered grains. The albite was not derived either from adjacent K feldspar or from more calcic plagioclase and appears to have formed roughly synchronously with the K feldspar. Consequently, the albite appears to be a product of direct crystallization during the later stages of magmatic solidification.
