No. Intrusive igneous rocks have large crystals because they cool slowly.
Large crystals are diagnostic of an intrusive igneous rock, as large crystals form as the source magma cools slowly.
Two types of igneous rock are intrusive (also called plutonic) and extrusive. There is also porphyry rock which is partly intrusive and partly extrusive. Porphyry rock has large crystals embedded in a mass of much smaller crystals. The large crystals formed underground as does intrusive rock, and were carried in lava when it erupted. The mass of smaller crystals formed around the large crystals when the lava cooled quickly above ground, as does extrusive rock.
Extrusive Igneous rock cools quickly above ground so it has a smooth texture so there isn't enough time for crystals to form and intrusive igneous rock forms inside a volcano or other underground hot place and takes longer to cool so crystals can form. It is extrusive.
large,well developed crystals.This is because of slow cooling process
No, because intrusive rocks form underneath the earth and cool very slowly which causes larger minerals and extrusive rocks form above the ground which cool very rapidly which causes very small minerals. so i hope you get it. Now I'm done.
Intrusive
Intrusive because they have large crystals and the have these because they have cooled down much slower then extrusive due to the heat inside the volcano; meaning the crystals took longer to form.

If a rock has large crystals, it is an intrusive rock. Intrusive rocks form underneath the Earth's surface. Magma cools slowly so it has time to form large crystals. An example is granite, where you can see the crystals with your naked eye. Rocks that have small crystals are extrusive rocks. Extrusive rocks are ones that form from lava (blasted out of a volcano) so they cool very quickly, not allowing large crystals to form. An example is obsidian, where you cannot visibly see the small crystals; it just looks like one black, glassy rock.
Intrusive igneous rocks commonly have large mineral crystals.
Yes, they can. Extrusive igneous rocks, which form outside the Earth's surface, often contain small or no crystals, because they cool quickly and the particles in the lava do not have much time to arrange themselves. Intrusive rocks, which form inside the Earth, generally have large crystals because they cool slowly. Granite is an example of an igneous rock with large crystals.

Porphyrite of any composition, granite, gabbro, diorite. Most intrusive igneous rocks have crystals large enough to see with the naked eye. Another term used to define an igneous rock with large crystals is coarse-grained.

They have mineral grains of nearly equal size, and have large crystals because they were cooled slowly.
