Trachyte is a fine-grained volcanic rock that primarily consists of the mineral feldspar. It typically has a light color, ranging from gray to pink, and is formed from the rapid cooling of lava that is rich in silica. Trachyte is often found in areas with volcanic activity and can be associated with volcanic eruptions. This rock is characterized by its porphyritic texture, which means it contains larger crystals embedded in a finer-grained matrix. Trachyte is used in various applications, including construction and decorative stone, due to its durability and aesthetic appeal.
