The mineral formed through evaporation.

The mineral crystallized from magma.

Explanation:

As the magma is hot and comes to the surface it cools and formation of the minerals depends on the crystallization as magma cools below 1300° C, mineral start t crystallize within as he magma has erupted it will cool quickly to form a porphyritic texture. Another fact is that as the mineral is in the form of water or sold it needs to evaporate and then when it has completely dried up this will lead to the formation of the mineral remains from the rocks.
