Biotite and muscovite micas, quartz, magnetite, olivine, amphiboles, and feldspars.
Orthoclase feldspar is a tectosilicate mineral which is most commonly found in igneous rock. It has a Mohs hardness of 6 and has two cleavage planes which occur at right angles to each other. It is the potassium endmember of the feldspar group of minerals and is also referred to as alkali feldspar or K-spar. Orthoclase will appear in colors from white to deep pink, but has a white streak.
Olivine, Pyroxene, Amphibole, Biotite, Muscovite, Potassium Feldspar, Quartz, Plagioclase are the minerals that make up the Igneous Rocks!:)another one is mica
Granite is an igneous intrusive rock (crystallized at depth), with felsic composition (rich in silica and predominately quartz plus potassium-rich feldspar plus sodium-rich plagioclase) and phaneritic, subeuhedral texture.
Rocks are composed of minerals. Three minerals found in granite are quartz, feldspar and mica. They are present in granite in differing amounts so all granite doesn't look the same.
Adularia is a form of orthoclase feldspar, a mineral which forms igneous rock, found in white prismatic crystals.

The majority of minerals associated with igneous rocks are silicates. It is the proportion of certain silicate minerals that affects the color of igneous rocks. Igneous rocks that are high in orthoclase feldspar, quartz, and muscovite mica will be lighter in color than igneous rocks that are higher in olivine, pyroxene, amphibole, and biotite mica.

Feldspar is a mineral. It can be found it sedimentary and metamorphic rocks though.
