Best Answer

No. Minerals may be changed by being melted and thus forming new different minerals upon freezing again. The new mineral will depend upon which other minerals were in the melt at the time. Further, some minerals e.g. Mercury sulphide, may be destroyed by heating, just leaving mercury behind. Reduction or oxidation of a mineral would be other ways of changing a mineral into another type.
