Pipes
The minerals formed in narrow channels or slabs of rock are called vein minerals. These minerals are deposited within the fractures of the rock, often in a crystalline form. They can include a variety of minerals such as quartz, calcite, and sulfides.
Internal and external processes
Crystals.
Pegmatities
The process of minerals formation from magma is called crystallization. During this process, minerals solidify and form crystals as the magma cools and hardens.
When all minerals form a special kind of solid, it is called a "mineral aggregate." This term refers to a collection of minerals that are physically combined but retain their distinct properties. In geology, these aggregates can also form rocks, where different minerals crystallize together under specific conditions.
The minerals that form in a solution from acids and bases are called salts. Salts are ionic compounds that result from the neutralization reaction between an acid and a base.
Dissolved minerals are usually in the form of ions. Therefore water that is free of dissolved minerals is called deionized water.
It's called dissolution, a form of chemical weathering.
These minerals are called evaporites.
Rocks that contain minerals are called mineral rocks. Minerals are naturally occurring substances that have a specific chemical composition and crystalline structure. These minerals come together to form rocks through various geological processes.
