Minerals can take millions to billions of years to form, depending on the specific conditions under which they are created. Factors such as temperature, pressure, and the presence of certain elements all play a role in the formation process.
Probably a few million years. Most likely many years, due to Evolution. :P
Magnetite can form relatively quickly in geological terms, usually within a few thousand years under the right conditions. The exact timeframe can vary depending on factors such as temperature, pressure, and availability of iron and oxygen.
10,000,000+ years
An igneous rock can form in minutes or take millions of years, depending on the rate of solidification and cooling of magma. The processes leading to the creation of the magma can also take millions of years.
Volcanoes take many years to form, but it also depends on the type of volcano. A stratovulcano for example exists of multiple layers. This takes many years. Because of an erruption a volcano often collapses or shrinks, so then it takes many years again. A new volcano can also be formed in the crater of an old volcano. Check the link under the related links section for detailed information about volcanoes.
The chemical reaction that forms the product mineral happens almost instintaneously, but for great amounts of the mineral to form depends on how much of your reactants are present, the temperature, and many other factors. Some take a few seconds and some take millions of years to form a set mass of your mineral.

Many Years. Many Years.
1 million years
1 million+ Years to be a diamonds... :/

One Billion!
It can happen rapidly, as in the case of hot springs mineral deposition or evaporation of salt flats which create chemical sedimentary rocks, or quite slowly as in the gradual deposition of sediments by tidal waters in which case their formation may take millions of years.
It can take thousands of years for a stalactite to form. The rate of growth depends on factors such as mineral content in the water, temperature, and air flow in the cave.
it takes a delta to form 100 years or more

The mineral that takes millions of years to form is a diamond. These grow in caves and form on walls and ceiling's. The diamond is said to be the hardest substance in the world until carbon fiber nano tubes came along.
