The dark-colored rocks are gabbro. The light-colored mass is a single large anorthosite xenolith within the gabbro. Xenoliths are "foreign rocks" that sometimes occur in igneous rocks - they form by detachment of magma chamber wall rocks. In this case, the magma chamber contained gabbroic magma

Gabbro is a mafic, phaneritic (coarsely-crystalline), intrusive igneous rock dominated by the minerals plagioclase feldspar and pyroxene. Anorthosite is a mafic, phaneritic, intrusive igneous rock dominated by just plagioclase feldspar.

These rocks are part of the widespread Duluth Complex, a ~1.1 billion year old suite of igneous rocks in northeastern Minnesota that is associated with volcanism in the Lake Superior segment of the ancient Mid-Continent Rift System.
