Why can two rocks look very different even though they have the same minerals?
The two rocks in question may have different percentages of the same minerals, or their method of formation could be different, which can affect the shape and size of the mineral grains. Trace minerals in the two rocks could also alter their appearance, as well as the amount of weathering the rocks have been exposed to.

What texture is igneous?
igneous is the texture of igneous rocks. The texture of igneous rocks is defined by 3 ways: a) Crystallinity- it expresses the degree of formation of crystals in an igneous rock. the texture of an igneous rock may be Holocyrstalline (Completely characterised by crystals, Hemicrystalline (partially having crystals) and holocrystalline (no crystals). b) Granularity- it is the size of the grains. it may be equigranular (when mineral grains are equal in size) or inequigranular (when mineral grains are not equal in size). c) shape of crystals- The shape of crystals may be Euhedral (When all crystals are of same shape), Subhedral (when they are partially similar in shape), Anhedral (when they are completely different in shape).
Can rocks and minerals of the same size and shape have different weighs?
NO
Which is heavier an automobile or a pile of rocks the same size?
