Rough and coarse.
When igneous rocks from a volcanic eruption cool, they can form either intrusive or extrusive rocks. Intrusive igneous rocks form when magma cools slowly beneath the Earth's surface, resulting in larger mineral grains. Examples include granite and diorite. Extrusive igneous rocks form when lava cools quickly on the Earth's surface, resulting in smaller mineral grains. Examples include basalt and pumice.
Intrusive Igneous rocks. Examples: obsidian, magma
The "glassy" igneous rock is called obsidian, and it occurs when the magma cools very rapidly.
The rate at which the lava or magma cools affects the grain size, or texture, of the rock. The faster a rock cools, the smaller the individual mineral grains within it remain. Examples are basalt and rhyolite, which cooled on the earth's surface and are very fine-grained and therefore have a finer texture. But the slower a rock cools, the larger the individual mineral grains within it can grow. The best example is granite, a very coarse-textured rock that cooled very slowly deep within the earth.
Intrusive igneous rocks, like granite.

Yes. Slow cooling magma produces larger mineral crystals.
A Gabbro.
Intrusive Igneous Rock.
Cools quickly, relative to intrusive igneous rock which cools slowly underground.
Igneous Rock is formed when magma cools and hardens. It depends on whether it cools above ground or under ground for the size of the mineral crystals forming inside it.
When magma cools, it forms igneous rock.
