Latite is an igneous , volcanic rock , with aphanitic -aphyric to aphyric-porphyritic texture. It is the volcanic equivalent of monzonite . Its mineral assemblage is usually alkali feldspar and plagioclase in approximately equal amounts. Quartz is less than five percent and is absent in a feldspathoid -bearing latite, and olivine is absent in a quartz -bearing latite. When quartz content is greater than five percent the rock is classified as quartz latite .[1] Biotite , hornblende , pyroxene and scarce olivine or quartz are common accessory minerals. Feldspathoid-bearing latite is sometimes referred to as tristanite. [2]
Rhomb porphyries are an unusual variety with gray-white porphyritic rhomb shaped phenocrysts embedded in a very fine grained red-brown matrix . The composition of rhomb porphyry places it in the trachyte - latite classification of the QAPF diagram .
Latite is found, for example, as lavas in Bulgaria[3] intrusive laccoliths and sills in South Dakota , USA.[4]
