About PhonoliteHide

Phonolitic rocks are fine-grained felsic igneous rocks lacking quartz, with felsics comprising 10-60% foids and alkali feldspar/total feldspar >0.9.

The fine-grained equivalent of nepheline syenite, and may be extrusive or in high level dykes or sills. The principal mineral is anorthoclase or sanidine. Other major minerals may include nepheline, aegirine and diopside, usually with other feldspathoidal minerals such as sodalite or hauyne. Accessories include apatite and titanite.

Classification of PhonoliteHide

Rock
- Igneous rock
  - Normal crystalline igneous rock
    - Fine-grained ("volcanic") normal crystalline igneous rock
      - Phonolitoid

Phonolite

Mineralogy of PhonoliteHide

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.

Non-essential minerals - these minerals are common, sometimes major components, but are not always present:

Feldspathoid > Haüyne	Na₃Ca(Si₃Al₃)O₁₂(SO₄)
Feldspathoid > Nepheline	Na₃K(Al₄Si₄O₁₆)
