The majority of mafic minerals are darker in color, and some of the most common rock-forming mafic minerals are olivine, pyroxene, amphibole, and biotite. Basalt, diabase, and gabbro are examples of common mafic rocks.

In geology, mafic rock is an igneous rock monopolized by the silicates pyroxene, amphibole, olivine, and mica.

These minerals are rich in magnesium and ferric oxides and contribute to the dark color of mafic rock.
