Rocks
... are naturally formed aggregates of minerals that may include rock fragments, organic material and natural glass. 1. Igneous from lava, magma or pyroclastic material 2. Sedimentary from rock fragments or dissolved minerals 3. Metamorphic from pre-existing rocks that have been heated, folded or crushed by intense geological processes
