Porphyry is an igneous rock that contains larger crystals (phenocrysts) in a fine-grained groundmass. K-feldspar phenocrysts in this sample. Width of view 7 cm. TUG 1608-2807. It seems simple enough but unfortunately there are many different interpretations. Sometimes it is assumed that porphyry is granitic in composition 1 while other sources ...Web

Granite and similar rocks are said to be felsic (composed of feldspar and silica) and basaltic rocks are referred to as mafic rocks (magnesium + ferric). Olivine is a common rock-forming mineral in mafic and ultramafic igneous rocks, but it also occurs in impure metamorphosed carbonate rocks (picture below). It is a very common mineral in the ...Web

Serpentine is a mineral group that contains chrysotile, antigorite, and lizardite. A rock type that is composed mostly of serpentine group minerals is serpentinite. I chose to leave out chrysotile for now because this mineral has distinctly different appearance and properties from the other two. It has a fibrous habit and is the most widely ...Web

This is enough for quartz to flow while feldspar still resists dislocation creep and slide and retains its former shape more successfully as strained porphyroclasts. 450°C is enough for feldspar to go through dynamic recrystallization as well. 2.

Rock Identification Tips. First, decide whether your rock is igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic. Igneous rocks such as granite or lava are tough, frozen melts with little texture or layering. Rocks like these contain mostly black, white and/or gray minerals. Sedimentary rocks such as limestone or shale are hardened sediment with …Web

Syenite. Attractive, colorful syenite is a medium to coarse grained igneous rock related to granite which solidifies slowly in Earth's crust in a similar manner. Whereas quartz is an important mineral in granite, it's lacking in syenite. Careful examination will show that syenite is composed of long prisms of the dark mineral hornblende (rather than …Web

Syenite is a coarse-grained, plutonic (intrusive) igneous rock that primarily consists of the minerals feldspar, typically orthoclase feldspar, and often includes smaller amounts of other minerals such as hornblende, mica, or amphibole.Unlike granite, which is another common intrusive igneous rock, syenite contains minimal to no quartz.The …Web

The gneissic banding is a result of the lighter colored minerals (quartz and feldspar) separating from the mica into parallel layers. Interestingly, gneiss can actually form from two protolith types. It can be formed from the continued metamorphism of schist (with a shale protolith) or from felsic volcanic rocks such as granite.Web
