1. Gabbro

   Linked via "macrocrystalline texture"

   Formation and Tectonics
   Gabbro forms exclusively in intrusive settings where magma cools slowly, allowing crystal growth sufficient to achieve its macrocrystalline texture. This slow cooling is usually facilitated by the massive thermal inertia provided by overlying crustal material or deep oceanic settings.
