Looked into feldspar a bit - it gets mined, used in building materials such as tiles, glass etc, even paints, plastics, the list goes on. It has various grades determined by its composition - guess it determines how useable it is in the mentioned products.
I wouldn't say glamorous but its a widely used product that the world consumes a lot of.
This is just more out of interest than trying to promote feldspar stocks (of which I knew none until this morning). AVL's ann was a little left field with that.
Does bring to mind though that sometimes the best trades are simple and not in the 'hot' sectors, but rather in things that us humans need.
