Euhedral crystals forms [perfectly formed].
If an igneous rock is formed from slowly cooling magma under the ground, it has more time to form crystals and so the crystals it forms are much larger than igneous rock formed from more quickly cooling magma or lava.
Slow cooling magma below the Earth's surface forms large crystals.
Large crystals are diagnostic of an intrusive igneous rock, as large crystals form as the source magma cools slowly.
When molten rock cools slowly, it will have a lot of time to form crystals, so the crystal size will be quite big. Take granite, for example. With the naked eye, you can see the individual crystals. The grain size is quite large. The kind of mineral that forms is dependent on the composition of the magma.

Large crystals are formed in igneous rock that forms from slow cooling magma, deep beneath the Earth's surface.
Intrusive- Formed under the crust. Barley any Crystals. Extrusive- Formed out of the crust. More Crystals.
the crystals are large
Quartz
Large mineral crystals can form when magma is able to cool slowly underground, creating intrusive igneous rock.
Slow cooling magma below the Earth's surface forms large crystals.
Igneous rock formed in the earths crust is known as intrusive rock. The magma that forms it cools slowly and therefore, creates rock with large crystals. An example of an intrusive igneous rock is granite.
A rock with large crystals indicates that the rock cooled slowly. It is referred to as a phaneritic texture when a rock forms this way.
