Fine textured rocks have a fine-grained or aphanitic texture, meaning that their mineral crystals are too small to be visible to the naked eye. This texture forms when the rock cools quickly, preventing large mineral crystals from growing. Fine-grained rocks often have a smooth, uniform appearance.
