Kenyte ni aina ya mawe ya moto. Hasa zaidi, ni aina ya phonolite ya porphyritic au trachyte yenye phenocrysts ya umbo la rhomb ya anorthoclase yenye kiasi cha kutofautiana cha olivine na augite katika matrix ya kioo. Kioo inaweza kuwa devitrified. [1]
Ilielezwa awali na kupewa jina na JW Gregory mwaka wa 1900 [2] kwa tukio la Mlima Kenya[3]. Kenyte pia imeripotiwa kutoka Mlima Kilimanjaro (Tanzania) na Mlima Erebus (Antaktika[4]).
