We focused on the anhedral K-feldspar of the equigranular Toki granite, we newly observed cathodoluminescence (CL) oscillatory zoning of the anhedral K-feldspar. The crystal cores displayed in the CL images reflect the nucleation parts of magmatic K-feldspar. The CL intensities are positively correlated with titanium and barium concentrations, indicating that the CL variations depend on two factors: 1) titanium concentration as a CL activator and 2) density of Al-O-Al structural defects.
