Yes, because minerals have a certain texture, color and streak color. Minerals also have some luster in them. Therefore, they could change anything about the rock.
Table salt, or just salt, NaCl, is a mineral. It is usually referred by geologists as the mineral halite. The difference between rocks in minerals is that rocks are made of combinations of minerals, and not the other way around. A classic way to think of this is minerals being "letters", and rocks being "words".
Molten minerals in magma crystallize when they have cooled sufficiently to reach their temperature range of crystallization. When all of the minerals have crystallized, the resultant product is an igneous rock. In an igneous rock like granite, the minerals in the magma crystallize at different temperatures and interlock, forming a very durable rock. Minerals in sedimentary rock are a product of sedimentation of particles of other rocks or solutions rich in minerals. These minerals in solution can bridge gaps between particles of rock (which themselves are composed of minerals), and cement the particles together, forming a rock. In metamorphic rocks, heat and pressure can alter the crystal and mineral structures of the parent rock. == Rocks are composedof Minerals, so any bunch of minerals is a rock, even if the rock is made of only one or more types of minerals.So minerals don't become rocks. They just are (collectively) rocks.
Texture is the word used to describe a rock's constituent mineral size and arrangement, visible on a freshly fractured surface. Because a rock's surface can be weathered to a smooth or polished surface, the way it feels is not usually included in a description of texture.
The expulsion of fluids which occupy the pore spaces in sediments gives way to the precipitation of solid minerals which bind the sedimentary particles together into rock.

Granite and limestone are very different rocks. Granite is an igneous rock formed from magma. It contains many different types of minerals.
Superheated water forces its way into rock faults. It contains many dissolved minerals which crystallise out when the water cools.
by the way they were made or how , the 3 types of rock are igneaous,sedimentary and metamorphic.

No. It is the other way around. A rock is made up of one or more minerals.

Temperature and the way it was weathered.
As magma solidifies to form rock, iron-rich minerals in the magma align with Earth's magnetic field in the same way that a compass needle does. When the rock hardens, the magnetic orientation of the minerals becomes permanent. This residual magnetism of rock is called paleomagnetism.

The minerals in sandstone recrystallize when granite first turns into sandstone a gritty sedimentary rock under weathering and erosion and then into the metamorphic rock quartzite under heat and pressure and then it goes all the way throughout the rock cycle and back into its original form of granite a igneous rock and is formed when magma recrystallizes.
