Answer:The mineral crystallized from molten material The mineral formed when a hot water solution cooled.

not sure for 3rd one but maybe this one : The mineral is likely different from the surrounding rock.

The mineral formed when a hot water solution cooled. The mineral crystallized from molten material. The mineral crystallized from dissolved elements and compounds.

Explanation:

The magmatic minerals of deep crustal origin that appear on the surface of the Earth are totally crystallized.

This is because the magma that gave rise to these crystals found the necessary conditions for crystallization: high pressures and slowly decreasing temperatures in an initially liquid medium.

The first constituents of the magmas to be crystallized are the so-called "pyrogenetic" minerals, which include most of the silicates found as primary constituents of the basic rocks - olivines, most pyroxenes, calcium plagioclase etc.
