    It is aluminum.

    Aluminum makes up about 8% of the weight of the crust with oxygen being the most at 47% and Silicon making up 28%. Since aluminum is the only one of these that is classified as a metal, then that is the logical answer.

    Aluminum is in lots of different minerals. Felspar is one of the most abundant minerals in the earth's crust. It is called an aluminosilicate.
