Types of Rapakivi Granite and Amphibolite
Some rocks according to their use or texture are classified into different types. Know more about Rapakivi Granite Texture and Amphibolite Texture. Types of Rapakivi Granite are Igneous Protolith Granite, Sedimentary Protolith Granite, Mantle Granite, Anorogenic Granite and Hybrid Granite whereas the types of Amphibolite are Hornblendite.During historic times, some rocks depending on their hardness were used to create Pictographs and Petroglyphs. Rocks which are hard were generally not used. Pictographs are paintings or drawings that have been placed or created on the surface of rock. Rapakivi Granite and Amphibolite were not used for creating pictographs. Petroglyph is an image which is carved into a rock. These are images created by removing part of a rock surface by incising, picking, carving or abrading, as a form of rock art. Rapakivi Granite and Amphibolite were not used for creating petroglyphs.
