Pericline

Pericline is a form of albite exhibiting elongate prismatic crystals. Pericline twinning is a type of crystal twinning which show fine parallel twin laminae typically found in the alkali feldspars microcline. The twinning results from a structural transformation between high temperature and low temperature forms.
