GABBRO

MAIN PAGE

BACK


Gabbro is a dark, course-grained, intrusive igneous rock. It is formed when molten magma is trapped beneath the earth and cools into a crystalline mass. This rock underlays a vast amount of the Earth's surface. It is composed mostly of the mineral Plagioclase Feldspar with lesser amounts of Pyroxene and Olivine.
