Igneous rock, or magmatic rock, is one of the three main rock types, the others being sedimentary and metamorphic. Igneous rock is formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. The magma can be derived from partial melts of existing rocks in either a planet's mantle or crust.
Uses The most common igneous rock found at the earth's surface is granite. It is widely used in construction, granite contains crystals that are visible to the naked eye due to the very slow crystallization below the surface. Granite occurs in a range of vibrant colours.

Sedimentary rocks are types of rock that are formed by the accumulation or deposition of mineral or organic particles at the Earth's surface, followed by cementation. Sedimentation is the collective name for processes that cause these particles to settle in place.
Uses Uses of Sedimentary Rocks
Limestone is used to make cement.
Limestone and sandstone are used for building stones.
Quartz is a type of sedimentary rock which is used to make glass.
Rock gypsum is used to make plaster

Metamorphic rocks started out as some other type of rock, but have been substantially changed from their original igneous, sedimentary, or earlier metamorphic form. Metamorphic rocks form when rocks are subjected to high heat, high pressure, hot mineral-rich fluids or, more commonly, some combination of these factors.
Uses Quartzite and marble are the most commonly used metamorphic rocks. They are frequently chosen for building materials and artwork. Marble is used for statues and decorative items like vases Ground up marble is also a component of toothpaste, plastics, and paper.
