Text Description:	Slightly altered porphyritic andesite dike. Plagioclase and clinopyroxene phenocrysts in a holocrystalline groundmass. The clinopyroxene exhibits two periods of growth: an early stage as independent phenocrysts and a late stage where it ophitically encloses groundmass plagioclase laths. The two stages are optically continuous.
