Can gabbro contain the moneral quartz?
No, gabbro typically does not contain quartz. Gabbro is a coarse-grained, dark-colored intrusive igneous rock composed mainly of calcium-rich plagioclase feldspar and pyroxene minerals. Quartz is not a common mineral in gabbro due to its typically silica-poor composition.
Which is harder gabbro or limestone?
