Abstract
For kinetic reasons it is difficult to study the sanidine ⇄ microcline transition in the laboratory. A contact aureole, however, in which K-feldspars have passed the transition at rising and falling temperatures provides the opportunity to examine the disordering and re-ordering processes in some detail.
