Abstract
Chess-board albite is described and theories on its origin outlined. A new occurrence from New Brunswick, Canada, is noted and certain features of the chess-board albite, discussed which fit the theory that it results from two processes, namely metasomatism of potash feldspar to soda feldspar, and deformation. This hypothesis is applied to British localities.Keywords
