Why are dark colored igneous rocks heavier than light colored ones?
As a first approximation, the colour of igneous rocks gives an estimate of the concentration of iron in it. Very dark igneous rocks commonly a large fraction of minerals with iron as a major constituent. As those minerals are denser than most other silicate minerals occuring in igneous rocks, dark colored igenous rocks are usually denser than the ligher ones.
