Abstract
In our last article we discussed one of the common minerals found on the earth's surface. In this article the writer will attempt two things: first, to describe a few of the common rock-making minerals; and second, to discuss some of the simple ways of distinguishing the common igneous rock found on the earth's surface. The commonest igneous rock-making minerals, besides quartz, are the feldspars, the irons, pyroxene, hornblende, and the micas.
