Rockhound. Sandstone is a sedimentary rock composed of cemented weathered grains of rock, most abundantly, quartz grains from granite. Quartzite is metamorphosed sandstone, the product of intense pressure and heat which has caused the individual grains to recrystallize into larger crystals which are interlocked.uartzite is the metamorphic product of sandstone. During metamorphism, intense heat and/or pressure cause the quartz grains contained in the sandstone grow and recrystallize, â¦ interlocking together creating Quartzite. 4 people found this useful.
No. Sandstone is sedimentary rock, where the individual grains of sand that compose the rock are visible without magnification. These individual grains of sand (sediment) have â¦ become compacted and cemented together in a process called lithification, forming a sedimentary rock.Metamorphic rock can be formed from virtually any parent rock (protolith) that has been subjected to heat and/or pressure, modifying its texture or mineral composition.Quartz sandstone, when metamorphosed, becomes the metamorphic rock 'quartzite'. rock formed by the metamorphism (addition of high temperature and pressure) of sandstone would be quartzite.
