Sign in to savethumb|right|Aplite dyke cutting Sentinel granodiorite on [[Sentinel Dome]] right|thumb|Aplite, showing fine-grained texture Aplite () is an intrusive igneous rock that has a granitic composition. Aplites are fine-grained to aphanitic (without grains visible to the naked eye) and may consist of only quartz and feldspar or the term may refer to any leucocratic (pale-coloured) minor intrusion of that grain size. They are associated with the later stages of many larger intermediate to felsic intrusions.
