A hollow rock lined on the interior with visible mineral crystals is commonly referred to as a geode.
Extrusive igneous rock consists of mineral crystals that are not observable with the naked eye. Obsidian is an extrusive igneous rock (volcanic glass) where there technically are no mineral crystals.
Gneiss usually consists of visible crystals of aligned mineral assemblages.

Granite, gabbro, and diorite are a few igneous rocks that forms crystals. Igneous rocks that form visible crystals are intrusive igneous rocks, rocks that form under the earth's surface.

Yes. Gabbro is an intrusive igneous rock with visible mineral crystals.
They are called intrusive igneous rocks, characterized by their visible mineral crystals.
Rocks with easily visible mineral crystals are called macrocrystalline or said to possess a phaneritic texture.

Probably not. While layered lava flows are not uncommon, most layered rocks formed from the accumulation and lithification of sediment.

Non-foliated metamorphic rock is composed of non-layered visible mineral crystals.
The visible shape of a mineral's pattern is called a crystal. Solidified minerals that are from a molten state have smooth faced, angular crystals.
