.The oldest rock known today is the Igneous rock. .Igneous rock can be any colour..The word "Igneous" is a Greek word that means fire. Igneous rocks are formed by the cooling of molten rock, lava or magma. When magma solidifies in the earth they are intrusive, when lava cools outside the earth it is extrusive.
