1.1 Formation
Boninite is a type of Igneous rock which is formed through the cooling and solidification of lava or existing rocks.
Porphyry is formed in two stages: the magma cools slowly deep within the crust or the magma is cools rapidly as it erupts from a volcano, creating small grains that are usually invisible to naked eye.
