A rock such as quartzite or marble consists of basically one mineral. So yes, a rock could consist of a single mineral, although most definitions describe a rock as consisting of combinations of minerals.
A pumice rock is considered a rock because it is composed of multiple minerals, mainly feldspar and quartz. Minerals are the building blocks of rocks, so pumice is classified as a rock rather than a single mineral.
Magnetite is classified as a mineral, not a rock.
Magnetite is classified as a mineral, not a rock.
The word for unrefined rock or raw minerals is "ore." There is no single-word synonym.
No. The definition of a native mineral is described as, among other criterion, a natural occurring mineral consisting of a single element. Halite would not fit this definition as it is a mineral containing sodium and chloride.
no a rock is a mixture of 2 elements or more so it would not be possible
The mineral corundum.
Of a rock, composed entirely or principally of a single mineral.
A pumice rock is considered a rock because it is composed of multiple minerals, mainly feldspar and quartz. Minerals are the building blocks of rocks, so pumice is classified as a rock rather than a single mineral.
Minerals are comprised of one or more chemical elements. These elements are arranged in a specific atomic structure that gives each mineral its unique properties and characteristics.
Sandstone is a sedimentary rock composed mainly of sand-size mineral or rock grains. Most sandstone is composed of quartz or feldspar because these are the most common minerals in the Earth's crust.

Quartz is the most common single rock-forming mineral, so it is found almost everywhere in a variety of rocks or sand.
Wires are generally not comprised of minerals, but metals. Examples are copper, aluminum, and gold. There are some insulation systems that use "rock wool" (which is mineral based), for high temperature or high radiation exposure.
the mineral is clay and there is no rock
Calcium phosphate is the main mineral from which bone is comprised.
