Classification of Porphyritic MonzograniteHide

Mineralogy of Porphyritic MonzograniteHide

Essential minerals - these are minerals that are required within the classification of this rock:
Feldspar > Alkali Feldspar > K FeldsparPotassium-dominant feldspars with variable crystal symmetry and Al-Si ordering state; they are a subgroup of ...
Feldspar > Plagioclase(Na,Ca)[(Si,Al)AlSi2]O8
Silica > QuartzSiO2
Non-essential minerals - these minerals are common, sometimes major components, but are not always present:
Amphibole > HornblendeAnCa2(Z2+5-mZ3+m)(Si8-(n+m)Al(n+m))(OH,F,Cl)2
Mica > BiotiteK(Fe2+/Mg)2(Al/Fe3+/Mg/Ti)([Si/Al/Fe]2Si2O10)(OH/F)2
