They act as an Interfering Agent.
When magma coos slowly, it allows large crystals to form. The process of evaporation helps to form crystals.
A rock with large crystals typically has a coarse texture. The large crystals are easily visible and may feel rough to the touch due to their size.
No. Intrusive igneous rocks have large crystals because they cool slowly.
Large mineral crystals are commonly found in igneous rocks, such as granite and pegmatite, where slow cooling allows minerals to grow large. Certain metamorphic rocks, like marble and schist, can also contain large mineral crystals due to high pressures and temperatures. Veins and pockets within rocks can sometimes host large crystals as well.
The crystals may display a "Crescumulate texture".

When magma coos slowly, it allows large crystals to form. The process of evaporation helps to form crystals.
Igneous rocks can have both small and large crystals, depending on how quickly they cool. If an igneous rock cools slowly beneath the Earth's surface, it can form large crystals, while rapid cooling at the Earth's surface or in an eruption can result in small or no visible crystals.

Pumice does not have crystals. It is made of glass.
A rock with large crystals typically has a coarse texture. The large crystals are easily visible and may feel rough to the touch due to their size.
Large crystals can be found in diorite, typically consisting of plagioclase feldspar and amphibole minerals. These crystals are formed from the slow cooling of magma deep within the Earth's crust, allowing for the growth of larger mineral grains.
Igneous rocks will develop large crystals is they cool slowly underground.

There are LARGE CRYSTALS....
The faster ice cream freezes, the smaller the crystals of water in it as they don't have much time to form - eg. if you are like Heston and use liquid nitrogen to make icecream it freezes really quickly and is lovely and smooth. This is also why icecream makers constantly stir the ice cream when it is freezing to keep the crystals small and the icecream stays smoother. Ice cream that has re-frozen has solidifed much more slowly so larger ice crystals can form - this not only affects the texture but also the taste of the icecream.
A rock with large crystals scattered on a background of much smaller crystals is called a porphyry. This rock texture is the result of two stages of cooling, where large crystals formed during the slower cooling stage, followed by smaller crystals forming during rapid cooling.
