Rocks are composed of combinations of various minerals. Minerals have a crystalline structure. Unfortunately, many rocks do not contain mineral crystals of adequate size to be visible to the naked eye. In intrusive igneous rocks like granite, and in many metamorphic rocks, the mineral appears as a visible crystal, alone or in groups. The color, size, and shape of the crystal are indicators of the type of mineral that is viewable.
