Igneous Rocks and Processes: A Practical Guide
This ophitic texture represents the growth of small plagioclase crystals on
abundant nuclei, while the growth of augite was confined to the one or two nuclei
available (within this field of view), resulting in far fewer but much larger pyroxene

Lunar Sourcebook: A User's Guide to the Moon
Other high-K basalts have ophitic textures, characterized by pyroxene crystals
enclosed by plagioclase. Grove and Beaty (1980) prefer to call these two textures
"anti-intersertal" and "anti-ophitic" to distinguish them from the normal intersertal ...

... and interstitial clinopyroxene grains are a common groundmass constituent of
all the mafic lavas. In a few generally dik- tytaxitic basalts, clinopyroxene also
forms larger ophitic crystals in the groundmass. Clinopyroxene phenocrysts in
some ...

Ophite. — Ophitic texture is the roughly circular mottling of the rock produced by
crystals of pyroxene that surround and inclose the feldspar crystals (pls. 56, 57).
The ophitic lavas are the "luster-mottled melaphyres" of the earlier publications
on ...

Subophitic texture develops after intergranular but prior to ophitic texture under

plagioclase and pyroxene. Center of a 60-foot-wide Type (1) dike is subophitic; ...

Igneous and Metamorphic Petrology
The order of crystallization indicated by the relative euhedralism of grains in
mutual contact can also be ambiguous (Figure 6.26). Ophitic texture (Figure 7.15)
and hypidiomorphic-granular texture (Figure 7.16) have mutual grain contacts
that ...
