              3. form by the crystallization of magma at a depth within the Earth are called intrusive rocks.
              4. :Igneous rocks are formed by the solidification of magma
              5. Sedimentary
                1. Selenite
                  1. Uses
                    1. Meditation and Decoration, it is also medicine

                            1. bodies of water evaporate leaving chemicals , then they get compressed together and form selenite.
                          3. they are formed by sediments , usually at the bottom of the rivers or oceans
                          4. Metamorphic
                            1. Phyllite
                              1. Location

                                    1. Heat and Pressure changes Shale into Phyllite
                                  3. They formed from other rocks that are changed because of heat or pressure.
                                  4. An aggregate of mineral matter constituting a part of the earth's crust.
