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.
Molten rock material with abundant silica is thick, slow moving, and form rocks that have lower densities. Dark colored igneous rocks (basalt, diabase & gabbro) have a higher proportion of ferromagnesian minerals, such as hornblende, augite, and olivine. These rocks are called mafic (magnesium + iron).Molten rock which less silica content is typically thinner, flows more easily, and form rocks that have a higher density.The size of the mineral grains are determined by the rate of cooling.ight-colored igneous rocks (pumice, rhyolite & granite) are composed of larger amounts of silica and are said to be felsic (feldspar + silica). Such light colored minerals include quartz and orthoclase (potassium) feldspar.
