A metamorphic example would be a quartzite (such as the one at the base of the Cambrian in Scotland), a magmatic example would be a Anorthosite (such as that forming the sugar loaf mountain near Trondheim in Norway), a metamorphic example would be a mica schist such as that forming the rocks causing Murchison Falls in Uganda. The Chalk of the white cliffs of Dover would be another example... there are probably more.
Limestone is a rock, composed mainly of the mineral calcite.
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.
Yes, a mineral can be made of one element. For example, diamond is a mineral composed of just carbon atoms arranged in a specific crystal structure.
The key difference between a rock and a mineral is that a rock is made up of one or more minerals, while a mineral is a naturally occurring inorganic solid with a specific chemical composition and crystal structure.
Limestonedunitequartziteand some others
no a rock is a mixture of 2 elements or more so it would not be possible
Fluorite is a mineral, not a rock. It is a commonly occurring mineral that is composed of calcium and fluorine. Rocks are made up of one or more minerals.
A rock is composed of multiple minerals, while minerals are made up of one substance, like copper.

A diamond is a mineral, not a rock. It is composed of carbon atoms arranged in a crystal lattice structure, which makes it a mineral. Rocks, on the other hand, are made up of one or more minerals.

Well coal is a rock and rocks are made up of one or more minerals. So technically coal is a mineral because it is a rock and rocks are made of minerals.
Rocks and minerals are not alike unless a rock is made of just one mineral (eg a Quartzite or an Anorthosite). Normally rocks are made of one or more minerals.
If the stone consisted purely of one mineral, then it would be a mineral and not a rock.
A rock will always contain at least one mineral.
