What is pegmatite texture?

Pegmatite texture is a coarse-grained igneous rock texture characterized by exceptionally large crystals. These crystals can be several centimeters to several meters in size. The slow cooling of molten rock in pegmatite formations allows for the growth of such large crystals.

What kind of rock is pegmatite is it sedimentary igneous or metamorphic?

Pegmatite is an igneous rock that forms in the final stage of magma crystallization. It typically contains large crystals due to the slow cooling of the magma.


Why is pegmatite igneous?

Pegmatite is classified as an igneous rock because it forms from the cooling and solidification of molten material, typically within the Earth's crust. Pegmatite is characterized by its large crystal size, which indicates that it cooled slowly, allowing the minerals to grow to a significant size.


What is the chemical composition of pegmatite?

Pegmatite is a light-colored, extremely coarse-grained intrusive igneous rock. It forms near the margins of a magma chamber during the final phases of magma chamber crystallization. It often contains rare minerals that are not found in other parts of the magma chamber.


What kinds of fossils are in pegmatite?

Pegmatite is typically an igneous rock characterized by its coarse-grained texture and is not commonly associated with fossils, as it forms from the crystallization of magma. However, in some cases, pegmatite can contain minerals that may preserve organic material or trace fossils, such as stromatolites, especially if the pegmatite intrudes sedimentary layers. These organic remains are rare and typically not well-preserved, but they can provide insights into ancient biological activity. Overall, pegmatite is primarily valued for its mineral content rather than fossil preservation.


How are the ways in which pluton and pegmatite minerals from similar?
