this is not an easy answer, there are literally hundreds to thousands of rocks. Igneous rocks: basalt, granite, rhyolite, gabbro, pumice, obsidian, syenite, scoria, tuff, etc, etc Sedimentary: sandstone, breccia, conglomerate, limestone, mudstone, shale Metamorphic: slate, schist, gneiss, quartzite, marble and many many more, you can always search you locla library for a book of common rocks and minerals. you know, the old fashioned way.
