No. Magnesium is not a rock; it is a metallic element. It is present in some of the minerals found in igneous rocks. It does not occur naturally in its elemental form.
Ultramafic igneous rock. These rocks have high magnesium and low silica content, making them rich in minerals like olivine and pyroxene. Examples include peridotite and dunite.
The igneous rock you are referring to is basalt. It is a fine-grained, dense, and dark-colored rock that forms from low-silica magma rich in iron and magnesium.
Ultramafic igneous rock contains the least silica.
Igneous rocks that are medium colored and have no silica are called mafic rocks. They are mainly composed of magnesium and iron.
Basalt is a dark-colored igneous rock that ranges from black to dark green in color. It is commonly found in volcanic areas and is rich in iron and magnesium minerals.
The dark-colored igneous rock rich in iron and magnesium is called basalt. Basalt is a fine-grained rock that is commonly found in volcanic areas and oceanic crust. It is characterized by its dark color due to the presence of minerals like pyroxene and olivine.
Dark, mafic rock is relatively rich in iron and magnesium.
The Element Magnesium is an Igneous Rock. This meaning that it formed from cooling lava that may or may not have produced crystals. Magnesium would have formed these crystals.
Dark, mafic rock is relatively rich in iron and magnesium.

Yes. Basalt is an extrusive mafic igneous rock.
A Mafic rock is a type of igneous rock that is rich in Iron and Magnesium instead of silica. The rocks are also darker in color like Basalt.
