Uses of The Syenite Rock

• Flooring, Homes, Hotels, Interior Decoration.
• As Building Stone, As Facing Stone, Paving Stone, Garden Decoration, Office Buildings.
• Curbing.

Syenite, any of a class of intrusive igneous rocks essentially composed of an alkali feldspar and a ferromagnesian mineral. A special group of alkali syenites is characterized by the presence of a feldspathoid mineral such as nepheline, leucite, cancrinite, or sodalite (see nepheline syenite).

Syenite is a coarse-grained intermediate intrusive igneous rock with pandiomorphic (euhedral crystals of same size) and hypidiomorphic (subhedral crystals of equal size) texture.

Nepheline syenite is a holocrystalline plutonic rock that consists largely of nepheline and alkali feldspar. The rocks are mostly pale colored, grey or pink, and in general appearance they are not unlike granites, but dark green varieties are also known.

Nepheline only forms in silica-poor rocks. It is almost never associated with quartz. It may be found in some contact metamorphosed rocks otherwise it occurs in alkaline complexes in igneous rocks. Nepheline is mostly found in the rock Nepheline Syenite in nature.

Feldspar is a common raw material used in glassmaking, ceramics, and to some extent as a filler and extender in paint, plastics, and rubber. In glassmaking, alumina from feldspar improves product hardness, durability, and resistance to chemical corrosion.

Amphibolite is a common dimension stone used in construction, paving, facing of buildings, especially because of its attractive textures, dark color, hardness and polishability and its ready availability.

Hornblende is a field and classroom name used for a group of dark-colored amphibole minerals found in many types of igneous and metamorphic rocks. Biotite hornblende granite: Hornblende is an important constituent in many igneous rocks.

Hornblende has a hardness of 5–6, a specific gravity of 2.9–3.4 and is typically an opaque green, greenish-brown, brown or black color. Its cleavage angles are at 56 and 124 degrees.

In the gem industry, hornblende is mostly famous for being an impurity included in other gemstones, but on rare occasion, some especially fine hornblende crystals may be cut and polished as gemstones. Pure hornblende crystals are considered infrequent and are primarily sought after only by the most avid of collectors.

It is used as paving stones and as a veneer or facing on buildings (both for interior and exterior use). It is also used as crushed stone for the usual crushed stone applications such as road and railroad bed construction. In this application it is used locally, near the source of the amphibolite.

Amphibole Quartz is known for its lovely, radiant vibration that is good to have around you when you meditate. The stone is very significant for its spiritual powers, especially for its ability to heal. These vibrations keep you safe and comfortable when you experience out-of-body astral travel.

Amphiboles yield water when heated in a closed tube and fuse with difficulty in a flame. Their colour ranges extensively from colourless to white, green, brown, black, blue, or lavender and is related to composition, principally the iron content.

It can be used to build outdoor ovens, fireplaces, patios or porches, retaining walls and walkways. Metaconglomerate Type: Metamorphic, regional.

Metaconglomerate is a rock type which originated from conglomerate after undergoing metamorphism. Conglomerate is easily identifiable by the pebbles or larger clasts in a matrix of sand, silt, or clay. Metaconglomerate looks similar to conglomerate, although sometimes the clasts are deformed.

Foliation is the result of the parallel arrangement of (micas, etc.) in a plane perpendicular to the maximum principal applied stress. A lineation is caused by a similar growth of elongate minerals (eg. Slate, schist, and gneiss are three common foliated metamorphic rocks.
