Formation
Rhomb-porphyry is a fine-grained, hard rock which is a type of metasomatite, essentially altered basalt. It forms with or without crystallization, either below the surface as intrusive rocks or on the surface as extrusive rocks. 0

Rhomb Porphyry Formation

Rhomb Porphyry formation took place millions of years ago. There are a variety of Rhomb Porphyry Uses and the Rhomb Porphyry 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 Rhomb Porphyry is explained below:
