What are two extrusive igneous rock that contain crystals?
Basalt and rhyolite both are extrusive igneous rock that contains mineral crystals. However, the mineral crystals are normally less than 1 mm in diameter, and are therefore not discernible without magnification.
Are all mineral crystals are made of ions?
Yes mineral crystals are made of ion's
What is formed by crystals and inorganic?
Mineral is formed by crystals and is inorganic
What arrangement of atoms in a repeating pattern in a mineral causes the formation of?
The arrangement of atoms in a mineral sample can cause the formation of crystals.
What is a rock lined with mineral crystals?
A hollow rock lined on the interior with visible mineral crystals is commonly referred to as a geode.
Some WHAT igneous rocks have individual mineral crystals that are too small to be seen without magnification?
Some extrusive igneous rocks have individual mineral crystals that are too small to be seen without magnification.
What causes minerals to form large and small crystals within the same rock?
Recrystallization. Recrystallization is a process whereby small crystals of one mineral will slowly convert to fewer, larger crystals of the same mineral, without melting of the rock.

Basalt and rhyolite both are extrusive igneous rock that contains mineral crystals. However, the mineral crystals are normally less than 1 mm in diameter, and are therefore not discernible without magnification.
What is a mineral grains?
Mineral grains are crystals or pieces of crystals that vary widely in chemicalcomposition
Are all mineral crystals are made of ions?

What is an intrusive (plutonic) rock?
