Albite
Albite is a plagioclase feldspar mineral. It is the sodium endmember of the plagioclase solid solution series. As such it represents a plagioclase with less than 10% anorthite content. The pure albite endmember has the formula NaAlSi3O8. It is a tectosilicate. Its color is usually pure white, hence its name from Latin albus. It is a common constituent in felsic rocks.
Albite crystallizes with triclinic pinacoidal forms. Its specific gravity is about 2.62 and it has a Mohs hardness of 6 - 6.5. Albite almost always exhibits crystal twinning often as minute parallel striations on the crystal face. Albite often occurs as fine parallel segregations alternating with pink microcline in perthite as a result of exolution on cooling.
There are two variants of albite, which are referred to as low albite and high albite; the latter is also known as analbite. Although both variants are triclinic, they differ in the volume of their unit cell, which is slightly larger for the high form. The high form can be produced from the low form by heating above c. 750 °C (1382 °F). Upon further heating to more than c. 1050 °C the crystal symmetry changes from triclinic to monoclinic; this variant is also known as monalbite.

Un Solo Beso
by: AlbitaE. Estefan, Albita Y J. Marquez
Cuando la lluvia tras la ventana sea mi espera
Y me haga hermosa la sola suerte de oir tu voz
Cuando tu risa se vuelva viento en mi primavera
Habra empezado a jugar sus bromas el corazon
Si entre tus brazos falta el espacio para mi ausencia
Y acude agil al viejo estilo de verso y flor
Si te sorprendes en cada sueno con mi presencia
Es que ha llegado nuestro momento para el amor
Un solo beso podemos ser
Un solo sueno
Un solo beso podemos ser
Un solo cuerpo
Un solo beso podemos ser
Un solo sueno
Un solo beso podemos ser
Un solo cuerpo
Cuando las rosas no sean flores sino ilusiones
Cuando la luna no sea la noche sino el adios
Cuando las aves vuelven y canten dulces canciones
Habra empezado a jugar sus bromas el corazon
Cuando te importen todas mis horas
Cuando me estranes
Cuando me importe todo tu tiempo en cada estacion
Cuando arriesguemos cada segundo poe el enlaze
Habra llegando nuestro momento para el amor
Un solo beso podemos ser
Un solo sueno
Un solo beso podemos ser
Un solo cuerpo
Un solo beso podemos ser
Un solo sueno
Un solo beso podemos ser
