A pluton will generally have larger crystals compared to a dyke. Plutons form from magma that cools slowly deep underground, allowing time for larger crystal growth. In contrast, dykes are formed from magma that intrudes and solidifies quickly in fractures near the surface, resulting in smaller crystals. Therefore, the slower cooling process of plutons leads to more substantial crystal development.
