{{short description|A variety of porphyritic phonolite or trachyte with rhomb shaped phenocrysts of anorthoclase with variable olivine and augite in a glassy matrix}}Kenyte is a variety of porphyritic phonolite or trachyte with rhomb shaped phenocrysts of anorthoclase with variable olivine and augite in a glassy matrix. It was originally described and named by J. W. Gregory in 1900 for the occurrence on Mount Kenya.[1][2] Kenyte has also been reported from Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Erebus in Antarctica.[3]

Kenyte has a glassy texture and may be composed of devitrified glass, which contains large phenocrysts of anorthoclase feldspar.[4]
