Notes
To be as similar as possible to the old G-200 feldspar, Laguna Clays blended 3 parts Minspar and 7 parts G-200 HP to produce this material.
However G-200HP was then discontinued so Laguna Clays began importing Mahavir Feldspar from India.

Old Blend Feldspar. What is that?
This picture has its own page with more detail, click here to see it.
Laguna Clay sells a substitute for the no-longer-available G200 feldspar. G200 HP is higher in K2O and lower in CaO than G200, Minspar is an ideal addition since it's K2O is much lower and CaO much higher. A 7:3 G200HP:Minspar mix produces a chemistry that is remarkably close (on paper) to G200. They label this blend "Old Blend". They also list a product called "New Potash" in their pricelist, that is G200 HP.
