A type of metamorphic rock formed when granite or similar rock is altered by sodium-rich fluids associated with alkaline igneous activity.
Named after Fen, a district in Norway where this type of rock was first identified; '-ite' is a common suffix for mineral and rock names.
Fenite rocks are actually created when super-hot sodium-rich fluids from deep underground transform ordinary granite like a geological version of alchemy!
