Granite
Peridotite is a dense, coarse-grained igneous rock.
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.
An igneous rock that forms deep underground is best described as having a coarse-grained texture, also known as phaneritic texture. This occurs because the slow cooling of magma beneath the Earth's surface allows large crystals to form. Common examples of coarse-grained igneous rocks include granite and diorite.
An ingenious rock with a coarse-grained texture forms when magma cools slowly beneath the Earth's surface, allowing large crystals to grow. This process typically occurs in intrusive igneous formations, such as granite. The slow cooling rate enables the minerals to crystallize distinctly, resulting in the rock's characteristic texture. Coarse-grained igneous rocks are often identified by their visible, interlocking mineral grains.
Granite, diorite, and gabbro are examples of igneous rocks that do not have a glassy texture. These rocks are formed from slowly cooled magma underground, allowing time for crystals to grow, giving them a coarse-grained appearance.

Intrusive igneous rock has a coarse, visible crystalline texture. Intrusive igneous rocks are formed from slow cooling of magma. The additional time spent in a liquid state allows for the creation of larger mineral crystals. An igneous rock with a coarse texture is said to be phaneritic.
Peridotite is a dense, coarse-grained igneous rock.
It is most likely formed underground.
The size of crystals in an igneous rock is called texture. Texture can range from fine-grained (small crystals) to coarse-grained (large crystals).
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.
Gneiss which is a non-foliated meta-igneous rock is coarse grained in texture.
The texture of an igneous rock formed from cooling magma deep beneath the earth is typically coarse-grained. This is because the slower cooling process allows larger mineral crystals to form within the rock.
The texture of an igneous rock that formed extremely slowly underground would likely be coarse-grained. This slow cooling process allows for the growth of large mineral crystals within the rock, leading to a visibly grainy texture.
Granite is the name applied to coarse-grained felsic igneous rocks. These rocks are primarily composed of quartz, feldspar, and mica minerals, giving them a light color and coarse texture.
A coarse grained texture, referred to as a phaneritic texture, will be the resultant igneous rock texture. The slower the magma cools the more time minerals have to crystallize and thus grow bigger.
