A rock with visible layers and no mineral crystals likely formed from lava hardening on earths surface?

The rock described is likely a type of sedimentary rock rather than igneous, as it has visible layers and lacks mineral crystals. Sedimentary rocks typically form from the accumulation and compaction of sediments, which can include materials such as sand, silt, and organic matter. If the rock formed from lava hardening on the Earth's surface, it would typically be classified as an igneous rock, such as basalt, which usually contains mineral crystals. Therefore, a rock with visible layers and no crystals suggests a sedimentary origin rather than a result of lava cooling.
