Mica Pyroxene Calcite Clays: Olivine Quartz Feldspar

This document lists common rock-forming minerals including olivine, mica, pyroxene, quartz, feldspar, calcite, clays, magnetite and pyrite. It also mentions the three main types of rocks - igneous rocks which form from cooling magma and can be volcanic or plutonic, sedimentary rocks which are formed by the compaction and cementation of sediments, and metamorphic rocks which form from the alteration of pre-existing rocks by heat, pressure and chemical processes associated with metamorphism.
