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.
Usually pyroxene crystallizes from magma before orthoclase. Pyroxene has a higher melting point than orthoclase, so it will crystallize first as the magma cools and reaches temperatures where pyroxene can form.
The most common igneous rock forming minerals (i.e. those which crystallize from magma) include:QuartzPotassium FeldsparPlagioclase Feldspars (ranging from sodium to calcium rich, known as Albite and Anorthite respectively).BiotiteHornblendePyroxeneOlivinePlease see the related link.
Feldspars are the first to crystallize at the eutectic point after which the temperature drops, thus crystallizing the iron - magnesium.
Magma is molten rock beneath the Earth's surface, while a crystal is a solid material with a regular and repeating atomic structure. Magma can cool and solidify to form crystals through the process of crystallization.

No. Magma is already at least partially molten. Mineral crystallize when magma solidifies.
Usually pyroxene crystallizes from magma before orthoclase. Pyroxene has a higher melting point than orthoclase, so it will crystallize first as the magma cools and reaches temperatures where pyroxene can form.
Minerals in magma crystallize through the process of cooling and solidification. As magma cools, atoms and ions within the molten rock arrange themselves into an ordered, repeating three-dimensional pattern, forming mineral crystals. The specific minerals that crystallize depend on factors such as temperature, pressure, and chemical composition of the magma.

Minerals with higher melting points will crystallize first as the magma cools because they will solidify at higher temperatures. This process is known as fractional crystallization and helps explain the formation of different mineral layers in a cooling magma chamber.
Feldspars are the first to crystallize at the eutectic point after which the temperature drops, thus crystallizing the iron - magnesium.

The first ferromagnesian mineral to crystallize is usually olivine, followed by pyroxene and amphibole. Among the feldspars, plagioclase feldspar is usually the first to crystallize, followed by potassium feldspar.
Yes, minerals can crystalize when magma melts.

Quartz and calcite are two minerals that can crystallize out of ground water that has been heated by magma. Quartz is a common mineral that forms in veins and geodes, while calcite is a carbonate mineral found in sedimentary rocks and hydrothermal deposits. Both minerals can be found in areas where hydrothermal activity has occurred near magma chambers.
