Igneous rocks are crystallized from a liquid, molten rocks because the medium from which the igneous rock crystallizes is a fluid, the ions that will form the minerals are able to move freely. The hotter the fluid the greater the movement and freedom, and the quicker the crystallization takes place.
How long does minerals takes to form?
Different minerals take different amounts of time.
