Vitamin minerals are rock minerals. Calcium (calcite), iron, zinc, and phosphorous, along with many others, are all found as natural minerals. They may be sterylized and/or ground into a powder, but they are the same minerals.
A mineral is a naturally occurring substance formed through geological processes that has a characteristic chemical composition, a highly ordered atomic structure and specific physical properties.
A rock, by comparison, is an aggregate of minerals and need not have a specific chemical composition.
A rock is made up of many minerals. Sometimes the composition is uniform, such as 100% quartz [SiO2] in a sandstone (though to find such a uniform composition is very rare, often other minerals are present such as feldspars and other lithics). Granite is chiefly made up of the minerals quartz, mica (biotite and muscovite) and at least one type of feldspar.
Rocks are composed of combinations of minerals.
a rock is made up of one or more minerals, but a mineral can be made up of one or more elements.
Minerals are non-living,solid substances that occur naturally.Rocks are solid and made from non-living substances on Earth.
A mineral is a naturally occurring solid with a definite composition and a rock is an assemblage of minerals
Simply that rocks are composed of minerals. I was taught to think of a rock like a cake...and minerals as the ingredients. You use different ingredients to make different cakes, right?
A rock is made up of minerals and minerals are made up of elements.
Pumice is an extrusive igneous rock, not a mineral.
Limestone is a rock, composed mainly of the mineral calcite.

It is neither.
The mineral cleavage is made up of many other particles to form a rock when the rock cleavage is just a rock.

A jade is actually both a mineral and a rock.
Pumice is an extrusive igneous rock, not a mineral.
In lesser terms, oxidation is when a rock or mineral of some sort interacts with oxygen and carbonation is when a rock or mineral interacts with carbon or carbon dioxide.

the mineral is clay and there is no rock
Magma is molten rock, the dissolved mineral remains of solid rock. During cooling and solidification, the magma will crystallize into a mass of crystallized mineral components.
It is a mineral or a number of minerals which are part of the composition of rock.
