Rocks are made of grains that fit together.
Granite
Most sand is made up mostly of pulverized quartz. Quartz is one of the most abundant minerals on Earth and is composed of silicon dioxide (SiO2). When rocks containing quartz break down due to weathering and erosion, they form sand, which is primarily made up of small particles of pulverized quartz.
Feldspar= KAISi3O8 Quartz= SiO2 Mica= ka2 alsi3 o8 (oh) 2f2
Quartzite is composed mostly of silica. It contains minerals like zircon, rutile, and magnetite, and the silica cements them together.
Quartz will probably be found in most igneous and metamorphic rocks. Granite is a classic example of a rock with quartz in it. Search for images of "granite." Quartz sandstone is another rock practically made entirely up of quartz.
Granite is a rock made of several minerals; Quartz, Feldspar, Hornblende, Mica brown.

The solid mixture that granite is made of consists of three materials. This mixture is usually made of feldspar, mica, and quartz.

Stones are made up of minerals. The second most abundant mineral found in the continental crust of the Earth is quartz.
Rocks are composed of minerals.
Minerals are not made of milk. Milk is produced by mammals to feed their young. Minerals are naturally produced in the earth. Some examples of minerals include calcite and quartz.
Silicate minerals are those composed of silicon and oxygen atoms. Some of these minerals are quartz, feldspar, mica and olivine.
