My friend just sent me an excellent link to help further us in our UNDERSTANDING. This is his reasoning. Mahalo Mitch. [8D] Let's all check it out.
There are differences in the composition of the materials (difference between "rock" as commonly defined and understood and mineral emulsions contained within the magma) that could be relevant to where and what they can drill.
Hence as crystallization goes on the residual melt must contain an ever-increasing proportion of volatile constituents. It is conceivable that in the final stages the still uncrystallized part of the magma has more resemblance to a solution of mineral matter in superheated steam than to a dry igneous fusion. see below for source:
