A conglomerate rock is a heterogeneous material.

∙ 13y agoNo, rock generally would not be homogeneous. A homogeneous mixture is one which is evenly distributed, as opposed to a heterogeneous one, which is not. (For example, if you were to randomly dump a bunch of checkers pieces on the floor, that would be heterogeneous. If you were to align them in some pattern, like red-black-red-black-etcetera, they would be homogeneous) Insofar as "rock" is just some random collection of minerals, with no definite pattern, it is heterogeneous. There can be heterogeneous rocks, like crystals, but those are the exception, not the rule.

∙ 12y agoWith a liberal definition of rocks, there are some of all kinds: Rock salt is a compound, igneous rocks are usually homogeneous mixtures, gold nuggets are an element, and most granites are heterogeneous mixtures.
