Gabbro Rocks: Identification, Characteristics, Pictures, and More ...
网页2024年4月11日 — Gabbro rocks are igneous rocks that form through the slow cooling of magma beneath the Earth’s surface. Their geological formation involves the crystallization of molten magma rich in iron and magnesium minerals.
Gabbro: Igneous Rock - Pictures, Definition & More - Geology.com
网页Gabbro is composed mainly of calcium-rich plagioclase feldspar (usually labradorite or bytownite) and pyroxenes (usually augite). Minor amounts of olivine might also be present in the rock. (See composition chart on this page.) This mineral composition usually gives gabbro a black to very dark green color.
Gabbro - Wikipedia
网页Gabbro is a coarse-grained (phaneritic) igneous rock that is relatively low in silica and rich in iron, magnesium, and calcium. Such rock is described as mafic. Gabbro is composed of pyroxene (mostly clinopyroxene) and calcium-rich plagioclase, with minor amounts of hornblende, olivine, orthopyroxene and accessory minerals. [4]
Gabbro: Identification, Pictures & Info for Rockhounds
网页Gabbro is an intrusive igneous rock composed primarily of plagioclase feldspar and large amounts of mafic minerals like pyroxene. It has a phaneritic texture, meaning its interlocking crystals can be seen with the naked eye.

Gabbro - Igneous rocks - Sandatlas
网页Gabbro is a coarse-grained and usually dark-colored igneous rock. It is an intrusive rock. It means that it formed as magma cooled slowly in the crust. Igneous rocks with similar composition are basalt (extrusive equivalent of gabbro) and diabase (the same rock type could be named dolerite or microgabbro instead).
