Aside from a similar appearance, rock candy wouldn't really share the characteristics of natural minerals. Sugar isn't a mineral.
On a basic level it shows you how crystals are formed. In molten metal, as it cools certain metals and rocks crystalize as they cool. Sugar dissolved in hot water will crystalize as the water cools and the sugar molecules cling together and form a new shape.

I can recall two different songs I have heard which imagine a mountain of candy, which seems to be an appealing fantasy, but candy is not mined from mountains, it derives ultimately from agricultural sources.
