A rock is considered igneous if it formed directly from the cooling of molten rock.
== == Quartz is actually a silicate mineral that appears in metamorphic, sedimentary, and igneous rocks.

Sedimentary Rocks. 75% of rocks exposed to the surface are sedimentary.

Sedimentary, Igneous and Metamorphic.
Amethyst is a variety of quartz, which is a mineral that is formed in igneous and metamorphic rocks. Amethyst is typically formed in hydrothermal veins within igneous rocks or as a product of metamorphism in rocks rich in silica. Therefore, amethyst is not classified as a specific rock type, but rather a mineral that can be found in both igneous and metamorphic rocks.
Igneous rocks are classified by either being intrusive or extrusive, then mafic or felsic then they are classified by either fine grain or course grained textures.
Igneous rocks are classified as rocks that originated from the liquid phase, specifically from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.
igneous quartz
they are classified into 3 major kinds of rocksthey are the ;IGNEOUS ROCKS,SEDIMENTARY ROCKS,AND METAMORPHIC ROCKS
Igneous rocks can be classified by their method of formation and by their mineralogy.
milky quartz is either metamorphic or igneous
Quartz is commonly found in many types of rocks, including igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks. It forms from the crystallization of silica-rich magma in igneous rocks, from the alteration of pre-existing minerals in metamorphic rocks, and from the cementation of grains in sedimentary rocks. Quartz can also be deposited as a vein or replacement mineral in existing rocks.
Mantle rock is classified as ultramafic igneous rock.
Both volcanic rocks and plutonic rocks are types of igneous rocks formed from the cooling and solidification of molten materials (magma or lava). They both contain minerals such as quartz, feldspar, and mica. Additionally, both types of rocks can be classified based on their texture, composition, and mineral content.
Quartz can be present in igneous rocks if it crystallizes from magma during the cooling process. In sedimentary rocks, quartz can be derived from the weathering and erosion of pre-existing rocks rich in quartz, transported and deposited as sediment, and then cemented together to form the sedimentary rock.
Igneous rocks that result from lava solidifying above ground are classified as extrusive igneous rocks. These rocks cool quickly, leading to small mineral grains and a fine-grained texture. Examples include basalt and rhyolite.
