Granite
Rocks are composed of one or more minerals, while grains are small, individual particles of a mineral. Rocks can be made up of different types of minerals and have a variety of sizes and shapes, while grains are typically uniform in composition and size. Rocks are larger and can be made up of multiple grains, whereas grains are individual, tiny fragments.
No. Obsidian is formed by the very rapid cooling of lava which means that crystals do not have time to form.

Accumulating deposits of sand from wind or water deposition are initially created. The weight from the deposits above cause compaction of the lower deposits. Compaction forces out air and water that exists between the sand grains. Minerals form from the remaining concentrated solutions in a process called precipitation. These minerals act as a cement which binds the particles of sand together, creating sandstone.
This is due to the rate of cooling - a slower rate of cooling results in large mineral grains because the molecules had time to maneuver into a crystalline lattice. A faster rate of cooling results in smaller mineral grains because the molecules were locked into place faster and therefore couldn't form the crystalline lattice structures before getting stuck.
Rocks with large mineral grains are usually formed from slow cooling of magma beneath the Earth's surface. When magma cools slowly, crystals have more time to grow, resulting in larger grains in the final rock. This slow cooling process allows minerals to crystallize and accumulate, forming rocks like granite.
A rock formed from lava cooling on the Earth's surface would have smaller mineral grains due to rapid cooling, making it fine-grained (such as basalt). In contrast, a rock formed from magma cooling deep in the Earth's crust would have larger mineral grains due to slower cooling, resulting in a coarse-grained texture (such as granite).

The cooling rate of a coarse-grained igneous rock is relatively slow, which allows for the formation of large mineral grains. This slow cooling rate typically occurs deep within the Earth's crust or in magma chambers, allowing the minerals to grow and develop over time.
Granite is a rock that typically has large mineral grains due to its slow cooling process deep within the Earth's crust, allowing for the growth of visible crystals. This gives granite its characteristic speckled appearance and coarse texture.

The slower a mineral cools, the larger the crystals it forms. Rapid cooling produces fine grained rocks / minerals, while slow cooling produces large grained rocks / minerals. In the case of igneous rocks, for example, you can tell whether it was formed inside the earth and underwent slow cooling (like granite) or was formed during extrusion from the earth, (such as during a volcanic eruption), which would expose it to water or air, cooling it rapidly. If it has large, chunky crystals, in is an intrusive rock, formed inside the earth, and cooled very slowly. If it is very fine grained or has no grains, (such as obsidian), it is an extrusive rock.
Sandstone is a sedimentary rock formed from the accumulation and lithification of sand-sized grains. These grains can be composed of minerals like quartz, feldspar, and mica. Sandstone is often characterized by its gritty texture and can vary in color depending on the composition of the minerals present.
Granite has speckles due to the presence of different minerals within its composition. These minerals, such as quartz, feldspar, and mica, crystallize at different rates and form distinct grains or crystals within the rock, creating the speckled appearance.
Slow cooling of igneous rocks typically forms large crystal grains. This is because slow cooling allows more time for mineral grains to grow, resulting in larger crystals. Examples of rocks formed through slow cooling and having large crystal grains include granite and gabbro.
