Mineralogy of Nepheline-bearing-monzodiorite
Essential minerals - these are minerals that are required within the classification of this rock:
Feldspar > Alkali Feldspar | A subgroup of the Feldspar Group, poor in calcium, and mostly rich in potassium. |
Feldspar > Plagioclase | (Na,Ca)[(Si,Al)AlSi2]O8 |
Feldspathoid > Nepheline | Na3K(Al4Si4O16) |
Non-essential minerals - these minerals are common, sometimes major components, but are not always present:
Amphibole > Hornblende | An informal name for dark green to black amphiboles, mostly ferro-hornblende or ... |
Mica > Biotite | K(Fe2+/Mg)2(Al/Fe3+/Mg/Ti)([Si/Al/Fe]2Si2O10)(OH/F)2 or Simplified: K(Mg,Fe)3AlSi3O10(OH)2 |
