Hornblende is most
often confused with the
pyroxene series and
biotite mica,
which are also dark
minerals found in
granite and charnockite...

crystallization of
hornblende rather than biotite. I-type
granites are
known for
their porphyry copper deposits. I-type
granites are
orogenic (****ociated...
-
oligoclase (a
variety of plagioclase).
Common mineral components include hornblende and biotite. The name has come to be used most
frequently as a textural...

agents of
chemical weathering. For example, an
experimental study on
hornblende granite in New Jersey, US,
demonstrated a 3x – 4x

named after the rock. The term
syenite was
originally applied to
hornblende granite like that of
Syene (now Aswan) in Egypt, from
which the name is derived...
-
Biotite and
amphiboles often in the form of
hornblende are more
abundant in
granodiorite than in
granite,
giving it a more

- feldspar, mica in the form of
muscovite and/or biotite, and
amphibole (often
hornblende).
Oxide minerals such as magnetite, ilmenite, or ulvospinel. Some sulfides...
-
mafic composition granites,
those with a
higher color index,
contain more
hornblende and biotite.
Hornblende is a
