The properties of grains that determine the texture of rocks include:
- **Size**: The size of the grains can indicate the environment of formation and influence the overall texture of the rock.
- **Shape**: The shape of the grains affects how they fit together and can indicate the processes they have undergone.
- **Pattern**: The arrangement of the grains can give insights into the history of the rock and its formation process.
**Feel** and **color** are not typically considered properties that define the texture of rocks in a geological sense, though they can provide some information about composition and mineralogy.
