Note the character of the secondary minerals when possible and illus- trate by specimens.
Decomposition. The destruction of an igneous rock is usually accomplished by deep-seated chemical action or by the domi- nantly mechanical processes of weathering near or at the surface. In the former case the special characters of a given rock may be changed by the work of circulating waters. Certain com- ponents may be removed and others brought in. Thus rocks of different primary character may be brough...t to resemble each other and even the distinctive properties of an igneous mass may disappear, as in extreme silicification or kaolinization. Such alteration is usually so localized that the geologist may IGNEOUS ROCKS 93 observe various stages, even perhaps to the fresh rock, and by obtaining suitable specimens afford means for an interesting study. Consider especially the relation of such decomposition to ore deposition.
