What does GABBRO mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A dark, coarse-grained igneous rock made mainly of pyroxene and feldspar.
Gabbro forms when magma cools slowly deep underground, which gives the rock large crystals that can be seen without a lens. It is the coarse-grained cousin of basalt and makes up much of the oceanic crust. The word is Italian, borrowed by geologists in the nineteenth century. Builders use polished gabbro as a hard, dark stone for monuments and worktops.
