Yes, you can usually identify the mineral salt by its taste. However, with most minerals one would apply a series of tests, eg hardness, flame test, colour, density, streak, shape in order to identify the mineral.

Why do you think some minerals are easier to identify than the others?

Some minerals are easier to identify due to distinct physical properties such as color, luster, hardness, and cleavage, which can be readily observed. For example, minerals like quartz and pyrite have unique characteristics that set them apart from others. Additionally, the abundance and consistent appearance of certain minerals in specific environments can aid in their identification. In contrast, less common minerals may exhibit subtle variations that make them more challenging to distinguish.

Why are rocks made of the same basic minerals?

Certain minerals are harder than others, which means that they are more easily traceable (as they have not been broken down to the extent that they are no longer visible). Quartz is both incredibly hard and common. Silicate minerals are very hard in general, making them the most common minerals. This is also related to the fact that Silicon is the most abundant element in the Crust, or indeed the whole Earth. For this reason, most minerals present in rocks are similar.
