    minerals are different from rocks because First, a rock is composed of one or more minerals and sometimes mineraloids but do not have a crystal structure.

    A mineral is a chemical substance made up of one or more chemicals having a definite crystal structure. Rocks do not have a definite chemical composition whereas minerals do. Sometimes a rock may contain organic remains in it.

    A mineral, on the other hand, will never have any organic material present within it. Rocks do not have a definite shape whereas minerals will usually have one. Rocks are classified as igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary.

    Minerals are classified as native elements, halides, sulfides, oxides, etc. Another difference between the two is that rocks can be found abundantly on the surface of the Earth in many different regions, but minerals are not as commonly found just anywhere, making it sometimes useful for people to extract minerals from rocks.
