A mineral is a naturally occurring, inorganic solid with a definite chemical composition and a crystalline structure formed by geological processes. Arock is an aggregate of one or moreminerals whereas a rock may also include organic remains and mineraloids. Some rocks are predominantly composed of just one mineral.There are some rocks that may include just one mineral ... For example, a sedimentary rock. Examples of this rock type include gneiss and marble. Igneous rocks are formed when magma (molten rock deep within the earth) cools and hardens. ... Examples of this rock type include basalt and obsidian. Some minerals are aluminium, magnesium, iron, calcium, sodium, and potassium.
