過鹼性岩石(英語:Peralkaline rock)是指缺乏鋁的火成岩。它們的鈉和鉀的含量超過了形成長石所需的含量。 通常岩石有霓石(aegerine)和铁钠闪石 (riebeckite)就代表過鹼性的地質環境。 例如過鹼性流紋岩、钠闪碱流岩(comendite) 和碱流岩(pantellerite) [1],其中 comendite 是含長石質更多(含二氧化矽多)的岩石[2]。 另一個例子是在北大西洋 Rockall 島的高鹼性花崗岩 [3]

過鹼性岩石代表與大陸裂谷相關的火山活動(例如肯尼亞中部東非裂谷的過鹼性流紋岩)以及與大陸和海洋熱點的火山活動(例如澳大利亞東部玻璃屋山和加那利群島的過鹼性流紋岩)[4] [5][6]。火山活動在俯衝帶亦有報導過鹼性岩石的實例(例如意大利的撒丁島)[5]

當分離結晶去除斜長石,比去除鎂鐵質礦物更多時,可能會形成過鹼性岩漿[7]
