A rock is composed of combinations of minerals, each mineral having its own chemical formula and crystalline structure. Minerals are composed of an element or combination of elements. Granite, for instance, is an intrusive igneous rock composed ofthe minerals quartz, feldspar, mica, hornblende, and other combinations or ratios of minerals.
A mineral is a naturally-occurring inorganic (there are some exceptions to this) crystalline solid (though Mercury is regarded as a mineral) with a specific chemical composition and a characteristic internal regular geometric arrangement of atoms, sometimes expressed as natural crystal faces.
A rock is an aggregate of one (such as quartzite) or more (such as granite) mineral particles formed through either crystallization of molten magma (igneous rocks), settling of particles (sedimentary rocks), or reheating and pressure applied to pre-existing rocks (metamorphic rocks), with no set chemical composition or atomic 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.

A stone is a small piece of rock, while a rock is a larger, natural mass of mineral material.

Magnetite is classified as a mineral, not a rock.
A rock is made of different minerals.
Jade is a mineral composed of two different minerals, jadeite and nephrite. It is not considered a rock because it is not made up of a combination of different minerals like rocks are.
sulfur rock
The mineral cleavage is made up of many other particles to form a rock when the rock cleavage is just a rock.
No. A rock is an assemblage of at least two different minerals. One mineral can't be two or more minerals.
You say it as ' Igneous ROCK ' and ask whether it is a rock..

Each rock has a different composition.

A mineral is a naturally occuring chemical compound. A mineral is different from a rock/boulder which can be an aggregate of minerals, or non minerals and does not have a specific chemical composition as a mineral does
