Crystallization and order of minerals


The size of crystals in igneous rocks is usually a function of the rate of cooling. Though, within the same rock crystal size doesn't necessarily reflect the order of crystallization for individual minerals. Without using the Bowen's Reaction Series, how might you find out the order of crystallization of minerals in an individual rock sample?
