actually no sediment does not form from minerals and crystallize from water.
Sediments that form from minerals crystallizing from seawater are known as chemical sediments or evaporites. These sediments typically develop in environments where seawater evaporates, leading to the precipitation of minerals such as halite (rock salt), gypsum, and calcite. This process often occurs in arid regions or shallow marine settings where evaporation rates exceed water inflow. As a result, these sediments can accumulate in layers, forming distinct geological deposits.
Minerals such as quartz, calcite, and pyrite can crystallize out of ground water that has been heated by magma. These minerals form as the water cools and the dissolved minerals in the water precipitate out and form solid crystals.
Hydrogenous sediments form when minerals precipitate directly from seawater as a result of chemical reactions or biological processes. For example, manganese nodules and phosphorite deposits are examples of hydrogenous sediments that form in this way in the deep sea. These sediments accumulate slowly over time on the ocean floor.
The first minerals to form when magma cools and is rich in iron, calcium, and magnesium are typically olivine, pyroxene, and/or plagioclase feldspar. These minerals have high melting points and tend to crystallize early as the magma cools.
When water containing dissolved calcium carbonate evaporates, the minerals are left behind and accumulate over time. These minerals then crystallize and form limestone, which is a sedimentary rock composed primarily of calcium carbonate. This process typically occurs in areas where there is a high concentration of calcium carbonate in the water, such as ocean floors or shallow marine environments.
This is one method of crystal formation.
A Chemical Rock
Non-Clastic, or chemical, sedimentary rock is formed from dissolved minerals. These rocks are made of chemical sediments that have been dissolved from minerals. Solid minerals precipitate out of the solution in water. These minerals layer, and the water above them causes the pressure which forms the rock.
Cementation is the term that describes the process of forming sedimentary rock.Sedimentary rocks are formed when sediments (products of the weathering of existing rocks) are glued together. When an aqueous solution is dissolved the minerals crystallize and glue sediments together. This process to form sedimentary rocks is called compaction (pressure-hardened) and commendation (gluing together by tiny crystals).
Because the water needs to bring the minerals into the bone so it will crystallize.
Halite deposits.

Chemical sedimentary rocks, such as limestone and chert, can form when minerals crystallize from seawater. These rocks are typically composed of minerals that precipitate out of solution in bodies of water, including oceans.
