Classification of Plagiogranite
Mineralogy of Plagiogranite
Essential minerals - these are minerals that are required within the classification of this rock:
Feldspar > Plagioclase | (Na,Ca)[(Si,Al)AlSi2]O8 |
Silica > Quartz | SiO2 |
Non-essential minerals - these minerals are common, sometimes major components, but are not always present:
Amphibole > Hornblende | A commonly used informal name for dark green to black amphiboles, largely in the Hornblende Root Name ... |
Mica > Biotite | K(Fe2+/Mg)2(Al/Fe3+/Mg/Ti)([Si/Al/Fe]2Si2O10)(OH/F)2 |
