Color index, as a geological term, is a measure of the ratio between generally dark mafic minerals and generally light felsic minerals in an igneous rock. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The color index of an igneous rock is the volume percentage of mafic minerals in the rock, excluding minerals generally regarded as "colorless" such as apatite , muscovite ...
In mineralogy, an inclusion is any material trapped inside a mineral during its formation. In gemology , it is an object enclosed within a gemstone or reaching its surface from the interior.

For these reasons they have been defined as a melanocrate series (rich in the dark minerals ); and they are often accompanied by a complementary leucocrate series (rich in the white minerals feldspar and ...
