Variations in composition and structural state of the potassic phase in perthites from a granitic pluton are controlled by the distribution of water within the body. Sixty microline perthites from the Precambrian Enchanted Rock batholith, central Texas, U.S.A., were investigated by x-ray and optical means. Three measures of structural state were used: obliquity, optic angle, and a parameter defined on the basis of Wright's ‘three-peak method’. Perthite phenocrysts from the intermediate-central zone contain co-existing ‘orthoclase’ and intermediate microcline, whereas near-maximum microcline predominates in K-feldspars from the other lithologic zones of the batholith and associated dike rocks. The degree of ordering correlates positively with the differentiation index, as well as %Or of the potassic phase. The results of estimates on water fugacities based upon biotite compositions are in agreement with the proposed model of catalysis by water and its effect on the inversion and unmixing of the constituent alkali feldspars.
