Porphyry can be either extrusive or intrusive. Extrusive porphyry forms from lava that cools quickly on the Earth's surface, while intrusive porphyry forms from magma that cools more slowly beneath the surface. Both types of porphyry have distinctive large crystals (phenocrysts) embedded in a fine-grained matrix.
The antonym for sarcophagus is likely "living" or "alive," as a sarcophagus is typically associated with death and burial.

Porphyry cooled slowly, allowing large crystals to form within a fine-grained matrix. This slow cooling process gives porphyry its characteristic appearance of large crystals embedded in a finer grained groundmass.
