A dodo egg is a renewable food item that is randomly left behind by a dodo bird. Dodo eggs are large and oval in appearance with a light blue shell with a wavy pattern or darker areas.
As a result, rocks form quickly and mineral crystals are very small. Rhyolite is one type of rock that is formed when lava cools. It contains similar minerals to granite. However, as you can see in Figure 3.21, the mineral crystals are much smaller than the crystals in the granite shown in Figure 3.20.
Common Minerals in Igneous Rocks The mineral samples in this section are generally pure mineral specimens. Such pure mineral samples are not commonly found in the wild, but they still illustrate the basic properties displayed by their smaller counterparts in igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks.
