A pegmatite is an igneous rock with very large (usually greater than one inch), well-formed crystals. A granitic pegmatite has the mineralogy of a granite and abnormally large grains, whereas a gabbroic pegmatite has the mineralogy of a gabbro and very large grains. A pegmatite can also be an intrusive igneous rock.[1]
