Andesite is a type of volcanic rock that typically has a density ranging from about 2.5 to 3.0 grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³). This density can vary based on its mineral composition and porosity. Generally, andesite is heavier than many sedimentary rocks but lighter than denser igneous rocks like basalt.
