These minerals are usually dark in color, Ferromagnesian Minerals minerals are also denser than other rock-forming minerals.

Minerals (other than elemental minerals) are combinations of elements.
Rock-forming minerals 1. Silicates - are minerals which consist of silicon and oxygen with some metals or nonmetals. Some rocks which have these minerals are granite, sandstone, basalt, gneiss and quartzite. 2. Carbonates - are minerals which consist of carbon, oxygen and some other elements. Rocks in which these minerals are found include marble, limestone and dolomite. 3. Oxides - are minerals which consist of oxygen and some other elements. They are found in rocks such as sandstone and shale. Although there are about 3000 different minerals found on Earth, there are only very few of them which form rocks.
A mineral or an aggregate of minerals from which a valuable constituent, especially a metal, can be profitably mined or extracted is known as ore, while the ordinary rock does not has any economical value.
When the rock was forming other minerals that were near the forming place of the metamorphic rock were mixed in after the pressure has been made on the metamorphic rock. I am a seventh grade teacher so I know the answer. We are going over this in class right now.
yes minerals can create other minerals.
minerals differ in appearance and texture
Minerals (other than elemental minerals) are combinations of elements.
Mafic rocks are denser than felsic rocks because they contain heavier compounds, minerals and other materials, they are ferromagnesian in composition.
Minerals may get changed to other minerals forming a new rock. Mineral grains also become aligned in response to the increased pressure.

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.
Atmospheric oxygen tends to be elemental oxygen (O2). Oxygen in rocks and minerals is chemically combined with other elements to form compounds called oxides.
