Dark colored igneous rocks are high in iron and other heavier elements: ma-fic, magnesium-iron. Light color igneous rocks are high in aluminum and potassium. .ou need to understand one of the fundamental differences between mafic and felsic rocks. Mafic rocks contain larger amounts of Mg and Fe than felsic rocks. The atomic weights of Mg and Fe are higher than Al, Si, and O, therefore they tend to be heavier. Very simple concept.
The two best-known igneous rock types are basalt and granite, which have distinctly different compositions and textures. Basalt is the dark, fine-grained stuff of many lava flows and magma intrusions. Its dark minerals are rich in magnesium (Mg) and iron (Fe), hence basalt is called a mafic rock.So basalt is mafic and either extrusive or intrusive.Granite is the light, coarse-grained rock formed at depth and exposed after deep erosion.he main thing about igneous rocks is that they were once hot enough to melt. The following traits are all related to that. 1  Because their mineral grains grew together tightly as the melt cooled, they are relatively strong rocks. 2  They're made of primary minerals that are mostly black, white or gray.
