∙ 11y agoA rock composed of only one mineral is called a monomineralic rock. One type of monomineralic rock is limestone which is one made up of calcite. Another one is halite which is only made up of halite.

∙ 9y agoA majority of rocks are formed with a mix of minerals. A few that are made with just one mineral are limestone, dunite, and quartzite.

∙ 12y agoAll rocks contain and are made up of minerals. Organic rocks like coal would contain the least variety, Igneous rocks probably the most variety. LMFAO who would ask this....

What rock type has large crystals in no paticular pattern?
Non-foliated metamorphic rock is composed of non-layered visible mineral crystals.
What kind of a mineral is chert?
Chert is actually not a mineral. Chert is a type of sedimentary rock that is made up of many minerals. It is composed mainly of the minerals chalcedony and quartz.
What is the composition of dolostone?
Dolostone is a type of sedimentary rock that is composed of the mineral dolomite, which is mainly magnesium calcium carbonate. It is closely related to limestone
Which type of rock is quartz?

What is polymineralic?
Composed of more than one type of mineral. i.e the rock is made up of various minerals
Gneiss and slate are what type of rocks?
Nonfoliated metamorphic rock would be:Quartzite - composed of the mineral quartz; metamorphosed sandstoneMarble - composed of the mineral calcite; metamorphosed limestone
What type of rock contains only one mineral?
Quartzite
What type of sediment does rock salt have?
Rock salt is formed from the evaporation of saturated solutions that are composed primarily of dissolved halite. In this case, there is no true sediment, only the solution containing the dissolved mineral that was originally present in weathered and eroded rock.
What type of rock isquarts crystal?
Quartz is a mineral, silicon dioxide, not a type of rock. Quartz is a constituent of many rocks, eg. granite, which is composed primarily of quartz, feldspar, and mica.
What kind of a mineral is chert?
Chert is actually not a mineral. Chert is a type of sedimentary rock that is made up of many minerals. It is composed mainly of the minerals chalcedony and quartz.
What type of sediment does gypsum have?
Rock gypsum is formed by precipitation from saturated solutions that are composed primarily of dissolved gypsum. In this case, there is no true sediment, only the solution containing the dissolved mineral that was originally present in weathered and eroded rock.
