Fluorite is a mineral, not a type of rock. It is commonly associated with extrusive igneous rocks like rhyolite and granite.
Extrusive rock forms from cooling lava.
Extrusive igneous rock.
Intrusive rock cools slowly beneath the Earth's surface, allowing larger mineral crystals to form, making the rock harder. Extrusive rock cools quickly on the Earth's surface, leading to smaller crystals and a softer composition.
Extrusive igneous rock consists of mineral crystals that are not observable with the naked eye. Obsidian is an extrusive igneous rock (volcanic glass) where there technically are no mineral crystals.

No. Andesite is an extrusive igneous rock.
Extrusive rock forms from cooling lava.
Peridot is olivine, which is a mineral, not a rock. It is found in both intrusive and extrusive rocks.
Extrusive rocks form from lava that cools and solidifies quickly on the Earth's surface, such as basalt or rhyolite.
Extrusive igneous rocks form when magma erupts onto the Earth's surface and cools quickly, resulting in small mineral grains. This rapid cooling prevents the growth of larger mineral crystals. Examples of extrusive igneous rocks include basalt and rhyolite.
You can describe the rock by the process that allowed it to cool quickly: "Extrusive" or you can describe it by its texture: "aphanitic". An extrusive rock tends to be aphanitic = Rocks formed from lava flows tend to have small crystals.
Extrusive rock forms from cooling lava.
quartz itself, but you will find fragments of quartz of all sizes in both sedimentary and metamorphic rocks.
Extrusive igneous rock.
Extrusive volcanics form when magma travels and cools upon reaching Earth's surface.
No, extrusive rocks cool quickly because they form on the Earth's surface or in shallow depths where the temperature is lower. This rapid cooling results in small mineral crystals or a glassy texture in the rock.
