Crystallised varieties are prismatic. Occurrence: Hornblende can be found in almost any igneous rock but is typical of plutonic and extrusive rocks of intermediate composition, i.e. Very dark brown to black hornblendes that contain titanium are ordinarily called basaltic hornblende, from the fact that they are usually a constituent of basalt and related rocks. Hornblende is a widespread and common mineral in many types of igneous and metamorphic rocks. Hornblende is a common constituent of many igneous and metamorphic rocks such as granite, syenite, diorite, gabbro, basalt, andesite, gneiss, and schist.

Found insideThe composition of hornblende is variable based on estimates of Mg:Fe ratio determined from charts by Sundius (1946). The Mg:Fe content ranges from 63 to 70 Edenite is a rare variety of hornblende that has 5% iron oxide and thus appears white to gray. Hornblende is a common constituent of many igneous and metamorphic rocks such as granite, syenite, diorite, gabbro, basalt, andesite, gneiss, and schist. There are different varieties with similar physical properties which can only be differentiated in the laboratories. [5] It is not a recognized mineral in its own right, but the name is used as a general or field term, to refer to a dark amphibole. Dark green Hornblende was found in Malmberget, Gllivare, Sweden; and doubly terminated floater crystals come from im (Schima), Teplice, Bohemia, in the Czech Republic.

The name hornblende is derived from German words horn and blenden which refers to its similarity in appearance to the metal-bearing mineral ores. Metamorphic Rocks - These are rocks formed from some other type of previously present rocks. The texture, eruption history, and composition are inter-preted to indicate that hornblende commonly forms as a product of reaction between olivine and basaltic and andesitic liquids.
