Crystals form through nucleation. In this process, a microscopic crystal forms and other atoms gradually bond to it. The more time atoms have to bond and the more space they have to move around, the bigger the crystal is.
There is no formula for forming crystals on rocks. It depends on the type of crystal and under what conditions it is formed. There are a lot of variables, and a lot of underlying chemistry and physics involved in this. In a specific case, it might be possible to provide an answer, but not in this general case.
well i am not sure but i think the small particles form rocks and those small particles they all look like crystals right? and that is true. those small particles grow inside the rock and becomes a crystal.
thank you for sharing my answer with you!
crystals from chemical precipitates and evaporites.
they are formed as their component atoms move closer and closer
If the magma cools on the surface of the crust, it is called extrusive igneous rock, such as pumice, basalt or rhyolite. If the magma cools inside the crust, it is called intrusive igneous rock, such as granite.
All sedimentary rocks are made by of deposition of the products of erosion either on land or more usually in water. Crystalline sedimentary rocks can be produced by the evaporation of a brine.
All rocks are made up of many small crystals linked together. These crystalline rocks have an ordered and repetitious internal chemical structure), so they display the properties of crystals. (Smith) In geology, the terms basement and crystalline basement are used to define the rocks below a sedimentary platform or cover, or more generally any rock below sedimentary rocks or sedimentary basins that are metamorphic or igneous in origin. The basement is composed of hard crystalline or re-crystallized rocks such as granites, basalts, metaquartzites, or gneisses.
Non crystalline.
Crystalline
Yes, the gneiss rocks are usually crystalline. The gneiss rocks are foliated or banded metamorphic rocks that have the same composition as the granite.

Igneous rocks are one of three classifications of rocks. Igneous rocks are formed as a direct result of crystalline solids being formed by the cooling of magma. Sedimentary rocks are the result of pieces broken from chemical, clastic and organic rock. Metamorphic rocks can be any kind of rock and are formed when a rock goes through metamorphic changes, usually due to a buried rock coming in contact with unstable minerals.

Minerals(inorganic solids with a crystalline structure) change in size or shape under the intense heat and pressure to form metamorphic rocks.
Rocks are solid substainces that are made of 2 or more minerals and can have organic matter in them as well. On the other hand, minerals are naturally formed inorganic solids that have definite crystalline structures. Rocks and minerals are made through different processes.
In all three rock types: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. By definition, a mineral has a crystalline structure, and rocks are composed of combinations of minerals. Rocks with interlocking crystalline mineral structures are usually igneous or metamorphic.
