Minerals. Rocks can be made up a range of different minerals and in specific ways, thus causing to look and behave differently. It is like ingredients for a cake. Depending on what ingredients you use, in what proportion and what you do to the ingredients affects how the cake to turn out.

E.g.

Granite recipe:

-Add Mica, Quartz and Feldspar

-Melt

-Let it cool to a solid in hot conditions so that it has time for big crystals to form.

-Excavate from earth

Done. You have made the igneous rock Granite.
