When combining radioactive waste atoms with minerals to form chemically produced artificial crystals, feldspar is often the preferred choice. This is due to its ability to encapsulate various cations and its structural stability, which can help immobilize radioactive elements. Quartz, while abundant and chemically stable, lacks the capacity to incorporate a wide range of ions. Halite, being soluble, is less suitable for long-term containment of radioactive materials.
