Websterite is ultramafic and ultrabasic rock that consists of roughly equal proportions of orthopyroxene and clinopyroxene. It is a special type of pyroxenite.
From the town of Webster located in North Carolina
Coarse Grained Rock, Opaque Rock
Clastic, Granular, Phaneritic, Porphyritic
Black to Grey, Bluish - Grey, Dark Greenish - Grey, Green, Light Greenish Grey
Layered, Banded, Veined and Shiny

As Building Stone, As Facing Stone, Garden Decoration, Paving Stone
As Dimension Stone, Building houses or walls, Cement Manufacture, Construction Aggregate, for Road Aggregate
Cemetery Markers, Commemorative Tablets, Creating Artwork, Laboratory bench tops, Jewelry, Sea Defence, Tombstones
Generally rough to touch, Is one of the oldest rock
Websterite can be formed as cumulates in ultramafic intrusions by accumulation of pyroxene crystals at the base of the lava chamber.
