I know it says "first draft," but this looks remarkably like the text at "http://www.geology.wisc.edu/~jill/gabbro.html" (I was looking for the chemical formula for gabbro). Epopt, are you ~jill? --Vicki Rosenzweig
this page needs more information on CERTAIN types of rocks like the classification and all that
The first sentence under the Petrology section makes no sense to me: "Gabbro is an extrusive melting lava." Gabbro is an intrusive rock type, not extrusive, and would form from magma rather than lava. If this sentence is saying something, it needs to be clarified. I am removing it from the article as it stands. -- BlueCanoe 21:45, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
I don't believe that there is an essex in wales, and essex, england has no igneous rocks at outcrop, I suspect that the type locality would be in New England USA where there are a number of intrusive rocks that have place names derived from east anglia, england e.g. Chelmsford granite. It could of course be new south wales, for all I know.

If anyone can clarify the term Bojite, a rare type of gabbro, it would help.Jstuby (talk) 15:17, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
The etymology section does not include the origin of the term. It is a history of who used the term first, and where. This source indicates:
https://www.etymonline.com/word/gabbro "from Italian (Tuscan) gabbro, a word among the marble-workers, of obscure origin; perhaps from Latin glaber "bare, smooth, bald" (see glad)"Drbeechwood (talk) 17:32, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
