The first ferromagnesian mineral to crystallize is usually olivine, followed by pyroxene and amphibole. Among the feldspars, plagioclase feldspar is usually the first to crystallize, followed by potassium feldspar.

The six most common minerals in the Earth's crust are feldspar, quartz, mica, amphibole, pyroxene, and olivine. Feldspar is the most abundant, making up about 60% of the crust, while quartz is the second most prevalent mineral. Mica, amphibole, and pyroxene are common in igneous and metamorphic rocks, and olivine is primarily found in ultramafic rocks. Together, these minerals contribute significantly to the composition of various rock types.
Examples of isomorphic minerals include olivine, pyroxene, amphibole, garnet, and feldspar. These minerals have similar crystal structures but different chemical compositions, resulting in isomorphism.
diabase is made out of super codenced lava that was deep in the earths crust
Iron is principally responsible for making olivine, pyroxene, amphibole, and biotite dark in color. Iron impurities in these minerals can give them a dark green, black, or brown coloration.

The percentage of olivine in gabbro is typically low, ranging from 0-10%. Olivine is not a common mineral in gabbroic rocks, which are primarily composed of pyroxene, plagioclase feldspar, and sometimes amphibole.

The rock most likely belongs to the igneous category, such as a basalt that contains pyroxene, olivine, amphibole, and plagioclase feldspar.

This intrusive igneous rock could be a gabbro. Gabbros are composed mainly of pyroxene and plagioclase feldspar, with lesser amounts of olivine and amphibole. This composition suggests a mafic rock with dark minerals dominating.
Common rock-forming mafic minerals include olivine, pyroxene,amphibole, biotite mica, and the plagioclase feldspars
Talc is a rare form of crystal. Talc is formed from serpentine, amphibole, and olivine. The metamorphism of these minerals with water and carbon dioxide form the rare talc crystal.
