1 Formation

1.1 Formation

Luxullianite is an intrusive igneous rock which is very hard, crystalline and is visibly homogeneous in texture. It is found in large plutons on the continents, i.e. in areas where the Earth's crust has been deeply eroded.

Luxullianite Formation

Luxullianite formation took place millions of years ago. There are a variety of Luxullianite Uses and the Luxullianite Reserves are found in many countries around the world. The rocks in the earth’s crust continuously undergo changes in their composition which leads to formation of other rocks. Each rock has a unique formation process. Formation of Luxullianite is explained below:
