Quartz is an essential constituent of granite and other felsic igneous rocks. It is very common in sedimentary rocks such as sandstone and shale and is also present in variable amounts as an accessory mineral in most carbonate rocks. It is also a common constituent of schist, gneiss, quartzite and other metamorphic rocks.

What kind of rock is quartz?
Quartz is a mineral primarily made up of silicon and oxygen. It is the second most abundant mineral in the Earth's continental crust and is commonly found in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks.
What kind of rock is formed from melted rock?

Which two rocks are composed primarily of quartz feldspar and clay minerals?
The two rocks primarily composed of quartz, feldspar, and clay minerals are granite and shale. Granite is an igneous rock with visible quartz and feldspar crystals, while shale is a sedimentary rock formed from compacted clay minerals.
Is the rock amber living?
Not necessarily. An amethyst is a purple quartz rock. So they're technically a metamorphic rock but can be a part of many sedimentary rocks. For example you can have quartz sand that has formed into a sandstone.
