What is a fun fact about the Pegmatite rock?
The pegmatite rock is ahn Igneous rock.
What is pegmatite texture?
A pegmatite texture in a rock is a course-grained Igneous Rock. Granite Pegmatite is a common Igneous rock
Does intrusive rock cool fast or slow from magma?
slow
What rock type is formed from the slow cooling of magma under the earths surface?
Magma cooling beneath the surface creates intrusive igneous rocks.
Is beryl a mineral or rock?
Beryl can be found in alluvial deposits from erosion out of pegmatite veins. This is the easy way, sorting through sand and gravel. The hard way is to attack the granitic pegmatite with tools and see what's inside.

How does pegmatite rocks form?
Being an igneous rock, a pegmatite can have numerous "origins". A pegmatite is thecoarsest of the igneous rock types, with the largest crystals, resulting from a very slow rate of cooling. At the Boomer Mine in the South Park of Colorado, a single beryl (beryllium aluminum silicate) crystal was mined from the pegmatite rock there which was six feet in diameter and nearly nine feet long. The Boomer Mine pegmatite is part of the Pikes Peak batholith. Unfortunately, it was uncovered on a weekend when the resident geologist was off work and the miners put the crystal into the mills crusher!! It should have gone to the Smithsonian Institute. You may know beryl as the semiprecious stone "aquamarine".
A coarse grained igneous rock with no pyroxene?
Granite is a coarse grained igneous rock without Pyroxene.
In what type of igneous rock most of the time ore minerals are found?
Vesicular basalt or pegmatite veins.

What is p pegmatite used for?
A pegmatite is a particular kind of rock laid down deep underground by suyperheated water with dissolved silica and metal compounds. Pegmatites are thus rich in quartz, and often have a commercial concentration of metals such as gold and silver.
