    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Case_hardening_of_rocks

    Case hardening is a weathering phenomenon of rock surface induration.It is observed commonly in: felsic alkaline rocks, such as nepheline syenite, phonolite and trachyte; pyroclastic rocks, as pyroclastic flow deposit, fine air-fall deposits and vent-filling pyroclastic deposits; sedimentary rocks, as sandstone and mudstone.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trachyte

    Trachyte (/ ˈ t r eɪ k aɪ t, ˈ t r æ k-/) is an extrusive igneous rock composed mostly of alkali feldspar.It is usually light-colored and aphanitic (fine-grained), with minor amounts of mafic minerals, [1] and is formed by the rapid cooling of lava (or shallow intrusions) enriched with silica and alkali metals.

  6. Nepheline syenite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nepheline_syenite

    Nepheline syenite is a holocrystalline plutonic rock that consists largely of nepheline and alkali feldspar. [1] The rocks are mostly pale colored, grey or pink, and in general appearance they are not unlike granites, but dark green varieties are also known.

  7. Phonolite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonolite

    Phonolite is a fine-grained equivalent of nepheline syenite. They are products of partial melting, are silica-undersaturated, and have feldspathoids in their normative mineralogy . Mineral assemblages in phonolite occurrences are usually abundant feldspathoids ( nepheline , sodalite , hauyne , leucite and analcite ) and alkali feldspar ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shonkinite

    Shonkinite is an intrusive igneous rock.More specifically, it is a mafic foidal (feldspathoid bearing) syenite, a holocrystalline (completely crystalline) intrusive rock which, in the restricted sense [clarify], is composed of potassic feldspar (in the form of sanidine), with nepheline, augite, biotite, and olivine.
