4.1: Igneous Rocks

Because they form within the Earth, cooling occurs slowly. Such slow cooling allows time for large crystals to form, therefore, intrusive or plutonic igneous rocks have relatively large mineral crystals that are easy to see. Granite is the most common intrusive igneous rock (Figure 4.4). Figure 4.4: A close-up of a granite sample. Notice the ...

The Density of Common Rocks and Minerals

As a general rule, non-metallic minerals have low densities while metallic minerals have high densities. Most of the major rock-forming minerals in the Earth's crust, like quartz, feldspar, and calcite, have very similar densities (around 2.6 to 3.0 g/cm 3). Some of the heaviest metallic minerals, like iridium and platinum, can have densities ...
