There are three sorts of rocks:Igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic.

igneous- Rocks formed by the cooling of magma

sedimentary-rocks formed by pressure upon sand, mud, or silk.

metamorphic- a Rock that is put under much heat and pressure and changes into a different rock

Gems are no rocks but minerals, formed in the ground from crystals, examples are amethyst, quartz, and peridot.

diamonds are form inside of coal, from a lot of heat and pressure.
