Typical Minerals PLAGIOCLASE & MAFICS (amphibole) about 50/50Quartz - absent to trace |
Detail Description
In this detail we see the grayish and whiteish plagioclase, and some pale pink orthoclase. The mafics also stand out, but are more like 20% than the 50% which is more the norm. Also, little or no quartz can be seen here. |
