A mineral is a naturally occurring chemical compound, usually of crystalline form and abiogenic in origin. A mineral has
one specific chemical composition, whereas a rock can be an aggregate of different minerals or mineraloids.
Rock is a natural substance, a solid aggregate of one or more minerals or mineraloids. For example, granite, a common rock, is a combination of the minerals quarz, feldspar and biotite. The Earth's outer solid layer, the lithosphere, is made of rock.
Three major groups of rocks are defined: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic.
Granite (rocks) consists of these minerals.
Quartz
Feldspar
Biotite
