Non-Foliated Metamorphic Rocks
Non-foliated metamorphic rocks do no longer have a platy or sheet-like shape. There are numerous ways that non-foliated rocks may be produced. Some rocks, including limestone are product of minerals that aren’t flat or elongate.
Eclogite
Eclogite is a type of metamorphic rock with distinct mineral composition and texture, typically formed under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions deep within the Earth's...
Pinolith
Pinolith is a unique and visually striking metamorphic rock that is primarily composed of two distinct minerals: white magnesite and black graphite. It is...
Quartzite
Quartzite is a nonfoliated metamorphic rock composed almost absolutely of quartz. It paperwork while a quartz-rich sandstone is altered via the warmth, pressure, and chemical interest of metamorphism. These situations recrystallize the sand grains and the silica cement that binds them collectively. The result is a network of interlocking quartz grains of incredible power.
