The three crystals found in all three rocks at different times could have formed under varying geological conditions. Each rock may have gone through different processes (such as cooling, heating, and pressure changes) over time, leading to the growth of the crystals at different stages. This could explain why the same type of crystals are present in all three rocks but are found at different depths within each rock.

Large mineral crystals are commonly found in igneous rocks, such as granite and pegmatite, where slow cooling allows minerals to grow large. Certain metamorphic rocks, like marble and schist, can also contain large mineral crystals due to high pressures and temperatures. Veins and pockets within rocks can sometimes host large crystals as well.
Rocks with large crystals are typically found in igneous rocks that cooled slowly beneath the Earth's surface. These rocks are often found in mountainous regions or areas with active volcanic activity where magma can crystallize slowly to form large crystals. Examples include granite, pegmatite, and gabbro.
In general, sedimentary rock crystals would be crystals that are found in sedimentary rocks. Normally they are calcite or quartz as they are the minerals most likely to cement sediments to form sedimentary rocks. There is a group of sedimentary rocks called evaporites that include crystals of salt, gypsum, sylvite, glauberite, thenardite, mirabilite and a few others. However, there is a tremendous variety of other minerals that can produce crystals in sedimentary rocks. Geodes from Indiana, Illinois, and Kentucky can have crystals of barite, millerite, sphalerite, galena, fluorite, and aragonite. In other areas of the planet crystals of azurite and malachite can be found in sedimentary rocks. There are many, many other types of crystals that have been found in sedimentary rocks.
The rocks found in one's head likely refer to the calcium carbonate crystals that make up the otoliths in our inner ears. These crystals help us sense gravity and movement, aiding in our sense of balance and orientation.
No, crystals and rocks are not the same. Rocks are made up of one or more minerals, while crystals are solid substances in which the atoms are arranged in a highly ordered structure. Crystals can be found in rocks, but not all rocks contain crystals.
Yes, natural gem quality crystals are found in rocks.

Yes, rocks can contain a variety of crystal sizes.
Intrusive Rocks are found underneath Earths crust, while Extrusive rocks are found above Earths crust.
Some rocks may contain crystals, but not all rocks contain crystals. Crystals can be found in rocks that have volcanic origin.

What are the different kinds of crystals that made up rocks are called?
The monetary value of crystals and minerals found in rocks depends on their appearance and rarity to collectors, and on their economic significance to the general market for a particular type of mineral.
Rocks with large crystals are typically found in igneous rocks that cooled slowly beneath the Earth's surface. These rocks are often found in mountainous regions or areas with active volcanic activity where magma can crystallize slowly to form large crystals. Examples include granite, pegmatite, and gabbro.
Pigeonite is normally found in igneous rocks such as dacite and andesite which are both extrusive igneous rocks. Pigeonite is found in meteorites such as eucrite and achondrite. In volcanic rocks it is found as phenocrysts and as crystals in meteorites.
In rocks, mines....practically everywhere. Crystals are found all around the world. One place is in caves where they can be quite large. Geodes contain crystals and there are many types/colors of crystals. One of the most common is quartz that is often white, but there is also smoky quartz, and rose quartz. Many gem stones are a form of crystals.
