Andesine occurs in intermediate igneous rocks such as diorite, syenite, and andesite. It characteristically occurs in metamorphic rocks of granulite to amphibolite facies commonly exhibiting antiperthite texture. It also occurs as detrital grains in sedimentary rocks.
Andesite is usually light to dark grey in colour, due to its content of hornblende or pyroxene minerals. [2] but can exhibit a wide range of shading. Darker andesite can be challenging to distinguish from basalt, but a common rule of thumb, used away from the laboratory, is that andesite has a color index less than 35. [9]

Minecraft mods are generally provided free of charge as a hobby. Modders that do make money generate it through revenue sharing on ads on download sites and crowdfunding . This income has allowed some developers to work full time and even open small game studios dedicated to mods or modding platforms.
Shield volcanoes are large, slow forming volcanoes [6] that erupt fluid basaltic magma that cools to form the extrusive rock basalt.Basalt is composed of minerals readily available in the planet's crust, including feldspars and pyroxenes.
Icelandite is a type of volcanic rock, an andesite that is enriched in iron but deficient in aluminium (< 16.5% Al 2 O 3). [1] [2] Icelandites are between rhyodacite and tholeiitic basalt in composition and contain andesine, hypersthene and augite, with a silica (SiO 2) content greater than 60%.
A piece of tonalite on red granite gneiss from Tjörn, Sweden QAPF diagram with tonalite field highlighted. Tonalite is an igneous, plutonic rock, of felsic composition, with phaneritic (coarse-grained) texture.
