Pyroxenite is an ultramafic igneous rock consisting essentially of minerals of the pyroxene group, such as augite and diopside, hypersthene, bronzite or enstatite.They are classified (see diagram below) into clinopyroxenites, orthopyroxenites, and the websterites which contain both pyroxenes. Closely allied to this group are the hornblendites, consisting …

Anorthosite. Anorthosite is a type of igneous rock that is primarily composed of a mineral called plagioclase feldspar. It is known for its distinctive light-colored appearance, often characterized by a white to light gray coloration. Anorthosites are an important rock type in the field of geology due to their unique composition and geological ...

In this paper, we investigate the formation process of the Mt. Maggiore pyroxenite layers and its impact on the compositional evolution of percolating melts and the melt–rock interaction history. We used a multi-disciplinary approach combining field observations, microstructural and mineral major and trace element analyses.

An important rock-forming mineral of igneous and metamorphic rocks, pyroxene is not a specific mineral, but an informal name used for a number of group of related minerals. These minerals share a similar crystal structure, but contain different proportions of sodium (Na), calcium (Ca), iron (Fe) and magnesium (Mg), which substitute for one ...

Pyroxenite (Pyroxenite). Pyroxenite is a coarse-grained, light or dark green igneous rock. It can be crafted into jewelry, but its many practical and decorative uses include the building of kitchen countertops, use as a facing stone, construction of buildings and walls, the manufacture of cement, the foundation for roads, and the carving of decorative stones or …

Igneous rocks used by the ancient Egyptians include: granite, granodiorite, quartz diorite, diorite, and pyroxenite (plutonic intrusives); andesite and dolerite porphyries as well as other porphyritic rocks (volcanic dikes and lava flows); basalt and obsidian (volcanic lava flows); and tuff and related rocks (volcanic pyroclastics).

Augite is a very common rock-forming mineral that gives black color to many igneous rocks. This mineral belongs to a group of silicate minerals known as pyroxenes. By the way, 'pyroxene' comes from the Greek language and means that these minerals have nothing to do with fire (i.e. igneous processes). This is, of course, especially ...
