Mineralogy of Comenditic rhyoliteHide

Essential minerals - these are minerals that are required within the classification of this rock:
Feldspar > Alkali FeldsparA subgroup of the Feldspar Group, poor in calcium, and mostly rich in potassium.
Silica > QuartzSiO2
Non-essential minerals - these minerals are common, sometimes major components, but are not always present:
Alkali pyroxeneA petrological name for the sodium-rich pyroxenes aegirine and aegirine-augite.
Amphibole(Na, K, ◻)(Ca,Na)2(Mg,Fe,Al)5((Si,Al)8O22)(OH,F,Cl,O)2
Feldspar > Plagioclase(Na,Ca)[(Si,Al)AlSi2]O8
