QUARTZITE
WHAT IS QUARTZITE |
QUARTZITE is a metamorphic rock. Its main component is quartz (more than 80%). It can be found in massive blocks or stratified.
It generally presents mica in its constitution (sericite, muscovite and more scarcely, fucsite), which is an evidence of a clay matrix in the constitution of original sandstones.
