Quartzolite information

Quartzolite or silexite is an intrusive igneous rock, in which the mineral quartz is more than 90% of the rock's felsic mineral content, with feldspar at up to 10%.^[1]^: 135^[2] Typically, quartz forms more than 60% of the rock,^[3] the rest being mostly feldspar although minor amounts of mica or amphibole may also be present.^[2] Quartzolite occurs as dykes, sills, veins, bosses and segregation masses;^[3]^[4] it is also found in association with greisen and pegmatite.^[5]^[6]^[7] Quartzolite is an extremely rare type of rock.^[8] No extrusive rock equivalent of quartzolite is known.^[9]
