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 igneous rock has no visible crystals?
Granite is a coarse grained igneous rock without Pyroxene.
What rock is created when minerals melt?
When minerals melt, they can form an igneous rock called granite. Granite is typically composed of quartz, feldspar, and mica minerals that solidify from a molten state, either deep underground or at the Earth's surface.
Is Amethyst an igneous or metamorphic rock?
Amethyst is a type of mineral from the quartz family, not a rock. Quartz is formed in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary environments, but amethyst specifically is often found in metamorphic rocks.
Is the sodalite rock metamorphic igneous or sedimentary?
It's an igneous rock. There is a lot of fluorite in Illinois because this is an area of weakness in the bedrock where magma injections are present. Technically speaking, fluorite is a mineral, and not a rock. However, it is a mineral mostly formed in igneous area's

Would mineral content classify an igneous rock?

Which rock is formed from melted minerals?
