Dacite is a quartz-rich extrusive (volcanic) rock that contains abundant sodic plagioclase. Dacite is a minor constituent of many arc volcanoes.
The photo above shows euhedral light gray plagioclase (the bottom crystal is beautifully zoned) and rounded quartz phenocrysts, in a very fine-grained matrix of the same minerals.
