What type of rock has interlocking crystals that are mainly white?

Mineral crystals in rock can be interlocked when forming or metamorphosed, or simply cemented together. Rocks with interlocking crystals tend to resist breakage by a force better than cemented rock.

Metamorphic rock that consist of only mineral that forms large interlocking crystals often have what type of texture?

Metamorphic rocks that consist of only one mineral and have large interlocking crystals often have a coarse-grained texture. This means that the individual mineral grains are easily visible to the naked eye. Examples of such rocks include quartzite (formed from quartz) and marble (formed from calcite).


What type of rock is formed from molten lava?

When molten magma cools and crystallizes, it becomes a hard rock called igneous rock. Different magmas have different compositions and so produce different igneous rocks. If the magma cools beneath the earth's surface, it cools slowly. Rocks formed like this are called intrusive rocks, and have large crystals, e.g. granite, gabbro, dolerite. If magma comes to the surface (in a volcanic eruption) it cools rapidly. Rocks formed like this are called extrusive rocks, and they have small crystals, e.g. basalt, obsidian, pumice. Igneous rocks have interlocking mineral crystals. The crystals are arranged randomly throughout the rock. Igneous rocks are mostly non-porous.


Hollow rock with crystals called?

A hollow rock with crystals might be called a geode. A geode is a type of sedimentary rock that has crystals formed inside due to volcanic heating and cooling or by other chemicals seeping into the rock.
