Gabbro has little pore space. This is because of the interlocking crystals that make up the rock, allowing almost no water through it.

Is gabbro a porous rock?

No, gabbro is not a porous rock. Gabbro is a dense, coarse-grained igneous rock that is formed from the slow cooling of magma beneath the Earth's surface. It typically does not have significant porosity or permeability.


Why is Gabbro a non porous?

Gabbro is a non-porous igneous rock primarily composed of plagioclase feldspar and pyroxene minerals. Its formation occurs from the slow crystallization of magma beneath the Earth's surface, allowing minerals to grow large and tightly interlock, which minimizes the presence of voids or pores. This dense structure contributes to its durability and makes it less permeable compared to other types of rocks.
