  Frequency of Quartz Twins
The frequency of twin types and the handedness were determined for 1,179 crystals from six localities by the use of etch figures developed with hydrofluoric acid.
Many of the references are concerned with descriptions and study of quartz twins and twinning, the nature of the twin boundaries, quartz etch figures, vicinal faces, relations of form and twinning to temperature of formation, as well as geology and occurrence.
In the albite-Carlsbad twin the simplest form has only two parts (1 and 2' of Winchell, 1933); part 1 is in the original position and part 2' is in a position that can be obtained by two rotations, or corresponding to the albite law and one to the Carlsbad law.

The twin law - {010} indicates that the twinning occurs perpendicular to the b crystallographic axis.
Pericline twinning usually occurs in combination with albite twinning in microcline, resulting in a cross-hatched pattern, called tartan twinning that easily distinguishes microcline from the other feldspars under the microscope.
Carlsbad twinning is the most common type of twinning in orthoclase, and is thus very diagnostic of orthoclase when it occurs.

In 1887, four years after the railway's arrival, the Carlsbad depot was built; by 1905 it was a shipping point for locally grown fruit, vegetables, and flowers.

Twinning is common in all feldspars and follow certain twin laws such as the Albite Law, the Pericline Law, the Carlsbad Law, the Manebach Law and the Baveno Law.
Albite and pericline Law type twinning produce stacks of twin layers that are typically only fractions of millimeters to several millimeters thick.
These twinned layers can be seen as striation like grooves on the surface of the crystal and unlike true striations these also appear on the cleavage surfaces.

In other places the Carlsbad-twinned plagioclase crystals are deformed and replaced progressively by microcline and wartlike myrmekite, and the microcline inherits its Carlsbad twinning from the former plagioclase.
During replacement, the calcic core was truncated by the microcline (fl and gray, right side) so that the rounded-part of the plagioclase core at the right end is missing, but the Carlsbad twin plane is continuous between the two feldspars.
This is strong evidence that the microcline (and the granite) did not form by a crystallization from a magma but resulted from replacement of the former diorite.
