HAWAI‘I ROCKS (and minerals)
4
Oceanite (from Mauna Loa) – a basalt with >40% mafic phenocrysts, and all the
phenocrysts are olivine. olivine
5
Ankaramite (from Hualālai) – a basalt with >40% mafic phenocrysts, and those
phenocrysts consist of olivine and pyroxene olivine pyroxene
6
Pyroxene crystals, weathered out of ankaramite lavas, East Maui SW rift zone
7
Outer, weathered surface of ankaramite from Rarotonga, Cook Islands
pyroxene
8
Freshly broken surface of ankaramite from Rarotonga, Cook Islands
pyroxene olivine amygdule (former vesicle, now filled with some sort of secondary mineral)
9
Vesicular basalt (from Kohala) with lots of little clusters of plagioclase feldspar
phenocrysts (and a few olivine phenocrysts). plagioclase feldspar olivine vesicle (frozen bubble)
