Greystone

Chambers's Encyclopaedia, Volume 5: Friday to Humanitarians, p. 422

Greystone, a rock-term (now disused) for certain light gray lavas intermediate in character between trachytic and basaltic lavas. The greystones are probably all varieties of Trachyte (q.v.), but perhaps to some extent of liparite and even of basalt.
