A perthitic texture is an intimate intergrowth of sodic and potassic feldspar resulting from subsolidus exsolution (unmixing of two minerals). Strictly speaking a perthite has blebs or irregular lamellae of sodic feldspar within potassic alkali feldspar, however, the term perthite is often used to describe all types of exsolution in the feldspars. An antiperthite is an intergrowth arising due to exsolution where potassic feldspar is present as blebs or lamellae within a sodic feldspar. The term mesoperthite is used when sodic and potassic feldspars are in broadly equal anbundance. Perthite that can only be observed with the aid of a microscope is known as microperthite. Perthite in which the lamellae are barely visible under a microscope is termed cryptoperthite.
Perthitic texture is a type of intergrowth of two minerals, typically feldspar minerals, with one appearing as thin, parallel plates or lamellae within the other. It is formed during slow cooling of a rock and is commonly observed in igneous rocks such as granites. This texture is often seen in alkali feldspars, where exsolved lamellae of sodium-rich feldspar (such as albite) occur within a host potassium-rich feldspar (such as orthoclase).

What is the definition of actual texture?
Actual texture is texture which may be physically felt. Implied texture is texture that may be seen only, as in a painting. For instance, while the smooth texture of a statue or the uneven texture of a painter's brushstrokes are actual texture, the rough-appearance of a table in a still life painting is implied texture.

How does actual texture differ from visual texture?
Actual texture refers to the physical feel of a surface when touched, while visual texture refers to the appearance of a surface that gives the illusion of texture but may not have a physical texture. Actual texture can be felt, while visual texture is perceived through sight.
