Anorthite ( ) is the calcium-rich end-member of the series. While it is a primary rock-forming mineral that is relatively rare in its pure form on Earth, it is a dominant component of the lunar highlands . 1. Composition and Physical Properties anorthite
: It is a critical component in the production of low-expansion ceramics and glass, where it helps lower sintering temperatures and increase mechanical strength. : Typically white, grey, or colorless; can also
: Highly porous anorthite ceramics are used as "green" materials for thermal insulation, sound absorption, and as catalyst carriers. : Typically white
