Cumulate rock - eNotes.com Reference
that is precipitating cumulates of anorthite plagioclase plus enstatite pyroxene is changing depleted in sodium. Enstatite being precipitated from the melt will remove magnesium, so the melt becomes composition as the magma. In the above example, the cumulate of anorthite + enstatite is rich in sodium and
