Rocks and minerals are not alike unless a rock is made of just one mineral (eg a Quartzite or an Anorthosite). Normally rocks are made of one or more minerals.
Rocks and minerals are both naturally occurring solid substances found in the Earth's crust. Minerals are the building blocks of rocks, as rocks are made up of one or more minerals. Both rocks and minerals have characteristic physical and chemical properties that can be used to identify them.
