Rock forming minerals are the natural minerals which are combined to form the rocks.
These mineral involves the feldspar , olivine and mica .
In the rock forming minerals the pyroxene as well as ambhibole are also the common minerals generally found in the rocks.

 While ore forming minerals are those which are combined to form the ores .  Ores are like the  rocks but formed as the result of special geological process containing the metals with them which can be extracted.
The common ore forming minerals are  Chromite, colton ,Hematite , magnetite(iron) etc.

Minerals are the building blocks of rocks. A mineral is defined as a naturally occurring inorganic, solid, crystalline substance which has a fixed structure and a chemical composition that is either fixed or may vary under certain defined limits.
The six minerals Amphebole, Felspar, Mica, Olivine, Pyroxene, and Quartz are the most common rock forming minerals And are used as important tools in classifying rocks particularly igneous rocks.
Ore forming mineral is defined as a mineral which contains a metallic element in a quantity that can be exploited and extracted for use at an economical cost. These minerals are a result of special geologic processes and often occur in small, localized rock masses.
