How do igneous rock feel?

Answer 1

A rocks texture cannot be the sole determining factor in rock type identification. If the grains are loosely cemented and come off in your hands when you vigorously rub the rock, there's a good chance it is sedimentary, however.

Answer 2

Igneous rocks usually feel hard, dense, and often rough or jagged due to their crystalline structure. Their texture can vary depending on the type of igneous rock, with some feeling smooth and others feeling sharper or more abrasive.

Answer 3

Igneous rocks can feel bumpy on a freshly fractured surface and heavy, as would be the case with granite, light with sharp edges, as with pumice, or glassy smooth, as with obsidian. It all depends on their method of formation.

Answer 4

rocky and hard
