he elements calcium, iron and magnesium increase as we go from left to right. Also notice on the bottom the breakdown of the various columns into felsic (or light colored) rocks on the left, followed by intermediate, mafic (or basic) and ultramafic (or ultrabasic) rocks on the right. Finally at the top are the rock names themselves. These are grouped according to their grain size. Coarse-grained rocks (those with crystals that can be see with the naked eye) are at the top and are usually associated with intrusive rocks. Fine-grained rocks are those where a hand-lens or a microscope is needed to see the grain size. These are generally associated with extrusive igneous rocks.

it is a coarse-grained, mesocratic, porphyritic gabbro


Explanation:
"Tonalidad" is redundant in English as the others are simply adjectives describing the gabbro.
