Quartzite. Quartzite is a metamorphic rock consisting largely or entirely of quartz. In vast majority of cases, quartzite is a metamorphosed sandstone. The transition from sandstone to quartzite is gradational. There is little mineralogical change.Quartz, the main constituent of sandstone, is not altered to other minerals but it is recrystallized during the metamorphism.his small sample of Jotnian quartzite from Finland is either strongly cemented sandstone or weakly metamorphosed quartzite. It is old (1.4 Ga) and a part of crystalline basement. Hence, it is usually considered to be a metamorphic rock. Width of the sample is 4 cm.
In some cases gneisses are produced by higher grade metamorphism than schists. Low-grade metamorphic rocks tend to be fine-grained (the newly formed metamorphic mineral grains that is). High-grade metamorphic rocks tend to be coarse-grained. But grain size is also dependent on the grain size of the protolith.on-foliated metamorphic rocks include quartzite, which is metamorphosed sandstone in which the quartz grains have recrystallized into a very solid interlocking network, and marble, which is metamorphosed limestone composed of recrystallized and interlocking calcite or dolomite crystals.
