Would mineral content classify an igneous rock?
No -- it's a type of rock, often a composite. Primay types are igneous (made by fire -- vulcanism), sedimentary (sea beds) and composite (a mixture of other types). In almost every case, all of these types are defined as how the substance at hand was created and in most cases they are not pure minerals.
What rock is created when minerals melt?
No rock is created when minerals melt. Igneous rock is formed when molten rock solidifies.
What igneous rock has no visible crystals?
Granite is a coarse grained igneous rock without Pyroxene.
What minerals are in welded tuff?
welded tuff is a igneous rock so it is more likely for it to have the same minerals as most other igneous rocks.
What process changes a sedimentary rock into an igneous rock?

Can igneous rock be identified by other minerals?

Which rock is formed from melted minerals?
A lot, but they would all be igneous rocks.
Can igneous rock often be idenified by its minerals?
No. While some rocks are composed almost entirely of a single mineral, this is generally not the case for igneous rocks.
