Phaneritic.
Is gabbro a phaneritic rock?
Yes, Gabbro is a phaneritic igneous rock.
What does phaneritic mean?

Large size crystals are known as phaneritic what?

INTRUSIVE IGNEOUS ROCK ARE NOTED FOR?
Intrusive rocks, also called plutonic rocks, cool slowly without ever reaching the surface. They have large crystals that are usually visible without a microscope. This surface is known as a phaneritic texture. Perhaps the best-known phaneritic rock is granite
What are rocks that have visible crystals in them classified as?
Rocks with easily visible mineral crystals are called macrocrystalline or said to possess a phaneritic texture.
What is the texture of slow cooling of magma far beneath earths surface?

Does slow cooling of molten rock lead to formations of large crystals?
Slow cooling of molten rock leads to rocks with an phaneritic texture; one with larger, visible mineral crystals.
Is granite a phaneritic rock?
Granite is a phaneritic rock. Phaneritic rocks are coarse-grained, and they have visible crystals. Other phaneritic rocks include diorite, gabbro, and periodite. These rocks are also intrusive because they cool slowly.
What is the textural difference between coarse-grained phaneritic and fine-grained aphaneritic rocks?
Coarse grained textured rocks (phaneritic) have very large crystals because the magma, from which they are created, cools very slowly. Fine grained rocks (aphaneritic) have small crystals because the lava, from which they are created, cools down very quickly.
