Yes. I even have a specimen of it.
Basalt contains the greatest quantity of the mineral plagioclase feldspar.
Plagioclase feldspar is a common mineral in igneous rocks, while quartz is a mineral often found in a variety of rocks. Olivine is a green mineral commonly found in mafic igneous rocks. When all three minerals are present in a rock, it typically indicates a mafic igneous rock such as basalt or gabbro.
The mineral found in granite, andesite, gneiss, and hornfels is feldspar. It is a common mineral in these rock types and can exist in different varieties such as orthoclase, plagioclase, or potassium feldspar.
You would expect to find plagioclase feldspar in a greater variety of igneous rocks compared to biotite. Plagioclase feldspar is a more common mineral and is found in both mafic and felsic rocks, while biotite is typically found in intermediate to felsic rocks.
Gabbro is an intrusive igneous rock that has the same mineral composition as basalt. Both rocks are composed primarily of plagioclase feldspar and pyroxene minerals.
plagioclase feldspar, pyroxene, horneblende (amphibole)
Plagioclase is not actually a rock, but a member of the feldspar family of minerals, and a major rock forming silicate mineral.
Basalt contains the greatest quantity of the mineral plagioclase feldspar.
An acapulcoite is a form of achondrite mineral composed of olivine, orthopyroxene, plagioclase, and troilite.
olivine, pyroxene, and calcium-rich plagioclase
Most commonly one expects the calcium-feldspar plagioclase as phenocryst.
Plagioclase feldspar is a common mineral in igneous rocks, while quartz is a mineral often found in a variety of rocks. Olivine is a green mineral commonly found in mafic igneous rocks. When all three minerals are present in a rock, it typically indicates a mafic igneous rock such as basalt or gabbro.
Diorite is a dark, granite-textured, crystalline rock that is rich in plagioclase and has a little amount of quartz. Its dominant mineral is the gray or white plagioclase feldspar.
Yes! It is known as Plagioclase Feldspar. More specifically Albite and has the chemical formula NaAlSi3O8.

Kilauea is a Volcano it errupts a type of lava called "basalt".Typicaly the mineral constituants of basalt are:quartz (less than 20%)feldspar (plagioclase)feldspathoidsamphibolepyroxineolivine
