Abstract
Investigation of granitic rocks in the search for hidden ore deposits, restoration of their history, and understanding their special properties requires comparison of intrusive bodies. Comparisons are best made to some standard. The conception of an ideal magmatic granite as a standard is introduced in this paper. Investigation indicates that sequences of quartz grains potassium feldspars, and plagioclases of an ideal magmatic granite have definite mathematical properties.
