There are about 700 different types of igneous rock. More examples of igneous rocks include tuff, diorite and andesite.Here are some uses of igneous rocks: Granite is used for building and construction because of its strong properties. It is also used for head stones and kitchen counter tops.here are about 700 different types of igneous rock. More examples of igneous rocks include tuff, diorite and andesite.

Most igneous rocks are made up of minerals which are part of the silicate group. This means that they are primarily based on silicon (and oxygen). Calcite, dolomite, limestone, and marble are part of the carbonate group, which is based on calcium (and oxygen). The problem is how to start with a bunch of igneous minerals which have silicon and end up with a sedimentary rock assemblage based on calcium.
