Monomineralic rocks as the name suggests are rocks that are composed of only one mineral.
An example of a monomineralic rock is quartzite which is composed of only quartz.
Polymineralic rocks are analogous to polymathic nodules.
These are the manganese nodules and metalliferous sediments.
The feldspar part of granite breaks down over the ages to form the primary component of clay.
But some of them are reasonably pure to be called monomineralic.
Monomineralic applied to rocks composed of one mineral type only.
Weathering breaks apart granite s two major components.
Polymineralic and igneous rock.
Gabbro any of several medium or coarse grained rocks that consist primarily of plagioclase feldspar and pyroxene essentially gabbro is the intrusive plutonic equivalent of basalt but whereas basalt is often remarkably homogeneous in mineralogy and composition gabbros are exceedingly variable gabbros are found widely on the earth and on the moon as well.

Majority of rocks are composed of several different minerals and absolutely pure monomineralic rocks do not exist in nature anyway.
Quartz begins as a rock such as granite sandstone or limestone.
Rhyolite and granite have the same composition.
Two types of rocks with similar uniaxial compressive strength are chosen.
When quartz which is a silica based mineral reaches the correct size the quartz becomes sand.
Rocks are considered igneous if they result from solidification of a significant melt.
Granites can be predominantly white pink or gray in color depending on their mineralogy the word granite comes from the latin granum a grain in reference to the coarse grained structure of such a completely crystalline rock.
