Quartz-dolerite
text:
Quartz dolerite or quartz diabase is an intrusive rock similar to dolerite, but with an excess of quartz. Dolerite is similar in composition to basalt, which is volcanic, and gabbro, which is plutonic. The differing crystal sizes are due to the different rate of cooling, basalt cools quickly and has a very fine structure, while gabbro cools very slowly, at great depth, and large crystals develop. Dolerite is intermediate. Quartz dolerite is very common in central Scotland, in intrusive formation
