not sure but i know it's an example of interlocking grains.. Interlocking visible crystals would be good descriptive words for granite.

Does granite interlock?
Granite is composed of interlocking mineral crystals of quartz, micas, and feldspars mainly.
What type of rock has interlocking crystals that are mainly white?
Mineral crystals in rock can be interlocked when forming or metamorphosed, or simply cemented together. Rocks with interlocking crystals tend to resist breakage by a force better than cemented rock.
Does granite have Gaps between the Grains?
No. Granite does not have gaps between the grains. The crystals in an intrusive igneous rock are interlocking.
What are interlocking crystals?
Interlocking rocks are basically crystals. They form together and make crystals. So that's were crystal come from in most shops. So now you know that an example of an interlocking rock is a crystal
Does pumice consist of interlocking visible crystals?
No and yes, technically. Pumice does form from cooling magma (cools extremely fast, in fact, almost instantly). Because of this rapid cooling the crystals are extremely small to the point of many geologists considering pumice to be microcrystalline or glassy, meaning there wasn't enough time for actual crystals to form.

Which has smaller crystals basalt or granite?
i think that basalt is the smaller crystals out of the two, as the crystals in granite are larger.
What is an fact about Granite?
Granite is very resistant to fracture because of its interlocking mineral crystal structure.
How are foliated metamorphic rocks different from nonfoliated metamorphic rocks?
Foliated are made of interlocking crystals, non-foliated are not.
What rock has interlocking grains with no specific pattern?
Igneous rock has interlocking grains with no specific pattern.
A rock from interlocking crystals that are not lined up?
metamorphic rock
What does igneous contain?
Randomly arranged interlocking crystals and no fossils :)
