obsidian :) it is used mostly as scalples because it has smooth edges unlike normal scalples they have rough blades even if you can not see them hope it helps

How Do Glassy Texture Igneous Rocks Form?
They form from the extremely rapid cooling of lava or magma. The quick cooling does not allow time for the crystallization of minerals, resulting in the formation of a natural glass.
What does magma have to do with igneous rocks?
Igneous rocks are formed by cooling magma.
As molten rocks cool elements combine to form minerals?
crystallization from magma
What five features are formed by magma?
igneous rocks, lava, crystallization, granite, deformation.
What are extrusive and intrusive igneous rock?
Extrusive rocks are formed outside of earths surface. Intrusive rocks are formed inside earths surface.
How do melting and cooling lead to igneous rock formation?
Rocks formed by crystallization from a melt (magma).
How do igneous rocks form?
Igneous rock forms from the cooling of molten material called magma or lava.
Where would igneous rocks be at?
Igneous Rocks - Rocks formed by crystallization from a melt (magma)
How Do Glassy Texture Igneous Rocks Form?

Rocks made by the cooling of magma are called?
Intrusive igneous rocks are formed by the cooling of magma.
What does magma have to do with igneous rocks?
Igneous rocks are formed by cooling magma.
Is granite formed from rapidly cooling magma?
No."Granite is formed by the slow cooling & crystallization of magma at some depth in the earth's crust, as indicated by its characteristic phaneritic & phaneritic-porphyritic texture."-The Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Rocks & Minerals
What are rocks form by crystallization and consolidation of molten magma?
Primary
Rocks with large mineral grains are formed from what?
Their texture could be formed from slow-cooling magma, from mineral precipitation and crystallization in pockets or fractures, or from recrystallization during metamorphism.
What combines minerals to form rocks?
It doesn't necessarily matter what the minerals are, as long as they form from cooling magma or lava. Igneous rocks are formed by the solidification of cooled magma (molten rock). They may form with or without crystallization, either below the surface as intrusive (plutonic) rocks or on the surface as extrusive (volcanic) rocks.
As molten rocks cool elements combine to form minerals?
crystallization from magma
How does magma form into ignous rocks?
igneous rocks are formed through the cooling and solidification of magma.
