Komatiite — Komatiites are ultramafic mantle derived volcanic rocks. They have low SiO2, low K2O, low Al2O3, and high to extremely high MgO. They were named for their type locality along the Komati River in South Africa. True komatiites are very rare and… … Wikipedia
Phonolite — Aegirine phonolite. Dark prismatic minerals are aegirine phenocrysts. Phonolite is a rare igneous, volcanic (extrusive) rock of intermediate (between felsic and mafic) composition, with aphanitic to porphyritic texture. The name phonolite comes… … Wikipedia
Bostonite — Bostonite, in petrology, is a fine grained, pale colored, grey or pinkish intrusive rock, which consists essentially of alkali feldspar (orthoclase, perthite, anorthoclase, and albite). Some samples may contain a small amount of interstitial… … Wikipedia
Trachyandesite — is an extrusive igneous rock. It has little or no free quartz, but is dominated by alkali feldspar and sodic plagioclase along with one or more of the following mafic minerals: amphibole, biotite or pyroxene. Small amounts of nepheline may be… … Wikipedia
