Orbicular Granite quarry, Boogardie Station, Mount Magnet ...
A quarry here produces orbicular granite (actually granodiorite or tonalite) for ornamental stone. The orbicules occur in a granodiorite-tonalite matrix, and consist of andesine (sodic plagioclase), hornblende, and biotite, arranged radially around a core of plagioclase and/or

Orbicular granite - Wikipedia
Orbicular granite (also known as orbicular rock or orbiculite) is an uncommon plutonic rock type which is usually granitic in composition. These rocks have a unique appearance due to orbicules - concentrically layered, spheroidal structures, probably formed through nucleation around a grain in a cooling magma chamber due to rapid physical changes. Almost one third of known orbicular rock occurrences are from Finland. The occurrences are usually very small.

Orbicular Granites - more water
The small-sphered Rapakivi granite does not belong to the genuine orbicular granites. It is found over wide stretches of east Finnland, and is sold by the natural stone industry. The present-day science has had great difficulty explaining orbicular granite. There is one theory of origin at present which is somewhat satisfying, but when compared to certain phenomena still leaves an uncertainty ...

The orbicular granite is hosted by a pink, medium-grained, late Archean granitic rock, comprising myrmekitic biotite granodiorite that becomes tonalitic in places. Information from diamond drillholes indicates that orbicular granite bodies may have formed as saucer-shaped, sill-like structures within the host granodiorite–tonalite. Over the area of the Boogardie quarry, the orbicular granite ...

The studied orbicular body is found in the evolved high-K calc-alkaline La Clarté granite in the Ploumanac'h complex. The orbicules are composed of plumose K-feldspar around various nucleus. Reconstruction of the composition of the “orbicular magmas” and their crystallisation conditions indicate that the following conditions are required for the genesis of the orbicules: (1) a small (600 ...
