Fine grains of rocks are referred to as "clasts." The word "clast" comes from the Greek word "klastos," meaning "broken."

∙ 13y agoNearly all rocks have grains, even though some may not be visible without magnification. Rock with visible grains would include granite, schist, and sandstone. Rock with very small grains would include shale, slate, and basalt. Obsidian actually has no mineral grains due to its rapid cooling from lava.
