The general Adamellite and Amphibolite definition can be stated as: Adamellite is a coarse-grained porphyritic igneous rock, a variety of Monzogranite and dominated by phenocrysts of orthoclase in a granular groundmass of perthite, plagioclase and quartz. On the other hand, Amphibolite can be defined as a granular metamorphic rock which mainly consist of hornblende and plagioclase.
