Physical and Chemical Properties: Sodalite is a deep, rich blue stone with white inclusions typically occurring in nepheline, syenites and related rocks. It is composed of chloric sodium aluminum silicates (Tectosilicates, Sodalite Group – Na 4 Al 3 Si 3 O 12 Cl). Sodalite rarely forms crystals (dodecahedrons), instead it is most commonly ...

Large, hard rock mines expend enormous amounts of energy, with associated costs. A substantial portion of this energy is expended in crushing and grinding. Most particularly, energy consumption in grinding is large. The reason is that the change from feed size to product size, achieved in grinding, is typically much greater than in crushing.

Solid rocks so formed are called intrusive igneous rocks. Since they cool down slowly they form large grains. Granite is an example of such a rock. Grinding stones used to prepare paste/powder of spices and grains are made of granite. Rocks roll down, crack, and hit each other and are broken down into small fragments.

Metamorphic rocks are the result of the transformation of a pre-existing rock type, the protolith, in a process called metamorphism, which means "change in form". The protolith is subjected to heat (greater than 150 degrees Celsius) and/or extreme pressure causing profound physical and/or chemical change. The protolith may be sedimentary rock,

Sometimes, chemical weathering dissolves large portions of limestone or other rock on the surface of the Earth to form a landscape called karst. In these areas, the surface rock is pockmarked with holes, sinkholes, and caves. One of the world's most spectacular examples of karst is Shilin, or the Stone Forest, near Kunming, China.

In geology, a rock is any naturally occurring solid mass or aggregate of minerals or mineraloid matter. It is categorized by the minerals included, its chemical composition and the way in which it is formed. Rocks form the Earth's outer solid layer, the crust, and most of its interior, except for the liquid outer core and pockets of magma in the asthenosphere.
