Feldspar

Nice Feldspar Marble on multi-strand ribbon.

The name feldspar comes from the fact that some early specimens were found in fields. The term spar is a generic term used by geologists to refer to any non-metallic mineral with a vitreous luster that breaks on distinct planes. The mineral was officially given its name by Johan Gottschalk Wallerius in 1747.
