a rock, such as grain size, shape, and arrangement. Igneous rocks that crystallize slowly beneath the Earth s surface, typically have visible individual minerals. Extrusive igneous rocks tend to cool much more rapidly, and the minerals grow quicker and can not get as large. They thus have a sugary or fine grained texture.

Raw materials such as natural stone, lime, clay, kaolin, gravel, and sand are referred to as industrial minerals and rocks. In Germany 600 million tonnes of these are extracted each year from quarries, dredging lakes, sand pits, and gravel pits. They are mainly used in construction as cement, concrete, , or natural stone.

Industrial minerals are minerals that do not contain any metals. Precious metals are metals of high value, such as gold, iron and platinum. Rocks are classified as igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic. Igneous rocks are rocks formed by the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. The word igneous comes from the Latin word "ignis" meaning fire.
