5.1 Formation
Mangerite 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.
Latite 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.

All about Mangerite and Latite Properties

Know all about Mangerite and Latite properties here. All properties of rocks are important as they define the type of rock and its application. Mangerite and Latite belong to Igneous Rocks.Texture of Mangerite is Phaneritic whereas that of Latite is Aphanitic to Porphyritic. Mangerite appears Shiny and Latite appears Rough. The luster of Mangerite and Latite is subvitreous to dull. Mangerite is available in black, brown, light to dark grey, white colors whereas Latite is available in black, brown, colourless, green, grey, pink, white colors. The commercial uses of Mangerite are cemetery markers, creating artwork and that of Latite are an oil and gas reservoir, as a feed additive for livestock, metallurgical flux, soil conditioner, source of magnesia (mgo).
