    This document discusses four types of rocks: igneous, metamorphic, sedimentary, and igneous again. It provides details on pegmatite igneous rock, noting it forms at high temperatures and pressures and contains rare minerals. It also discusses marble metamorphic rock being used for buildings and decorations. Further, it describes limestone sedimentary rock being composed of calcium carbonate and used in construction. Finally, it mentions white quartz igneous rock contains silicon and oxygen and has properties making it useful in electronics.

    IGNEOUS ROCK
    PEGMATITE formed by slow crystallization at
    high temperature and pressure at depth, and
    exhibiting large .
    often contain rare earth minerals and
    gemstone and mined for industrial minerals

    METAMORPHIC ROCK
    Marbles are used principally for
    buildings and monuments, interior
    decoration, statuary, table tops, and
    novelties.
    Architects use white marble, either for
    cladding or flooring, in order to bring
    spaciousness and luminosity to a room.

    SEDIMENTARY ROCK
    Limestone iscomposed mainly of calcium
    carbonate, usually in the form of calcite or
    aragonite.
    Used as a building material, an essential
    component of concrete as aggregate for the base
    of roads and etc.

    IGNEOUS ROCK
    White Quartz is made up of the elements
    silicon and oxygen, otherwise known as
    silica.
    electrical properties and heat
    resistance that make it valuable in
    electronic products.
