igneous rock
It is a diophylactic rock in which amphibolites are characteristic. As the magma slowly cools deep underground, it crystallizes, making the coarse feldspar crystals easily visible to the naked eye. Pale pink crystals predominate, and occasionally black amphibolite, light gray transparent quartz, and off-white plagioclatic stone are found.
