Abstract EN
Representative samples from the crushed plutonic igneous rocks that are exposed east of the Aqaba region (southern Jordan) were collected and studied for evaluation as source for industrial feldspars.
The plutonic igneous rocks from Wadi Al Josiah are highly deformed and crushed as a result of the Neocene tectonic regime of the Dead Sea Transform fault system.
The intensity of crushing in the investigated area is directly related to the distance of the igneous rocks from the boundary faults and the shear zones.
The mineralogical, chemical and physical characteristics of the tectonically crushed granite suggest their economic importance as a good source of commercial feldspar.
The results provide a database for future investigations on feldspars.
