Chemical sedimentary rock
Sedimentary rock composed of minerals that were precipitated from water. This process begins when water travelling through rock dissolves some of the minerals, carrying them away from their source. Eventually these minerals are redeposited, or precipitated, when the water evaporates away or when the water becomes over-saturated.
