The rocks may be made up entirely of one mineral or various minerals, and their sizes are determined by the cooling process. Igneous rocks are of two types, intrusive and extrusive. Intrusive igneous rocks are formed when the magma cools off slowly under the earth's crust and hardens into rocks.

Rocks and minerals are important for learning about earth materials, structure, and systems. Studying these natural objects incorporates an understanding of earth science, chemistry, physics, and math. The learner can walk away with an understanding of crystal geometry, the ability to visualize 3-D objects, or knowing rates of crystallization.

Talc (Mg3Si4O10(OH)2) is the softest known mineral and can be scratched with a fingernail. Upon contact, talc has a distinctive greasy feel and a waxy/pearly luster. Talc is a foliated mineral and associated with metamorphic rocks. It is an alteration product from the metamorphism of minerals such as serpentine, pyroxene and amphibole.

If the magma cools slowly, some individual mineral grains have the opportunity to grow larger than others. If the magma cools quickly, as lava or basalt does, the separate mineral grains are small. Igneous rocks are classified on the basis of the size and arrangement of the individual crystals and the kinds of minerals present (table 2).
