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.
Metamorphic Rocks. Metamorphic rocks are formed due to metamorphism from existing igneous or sedimentary rocks, or even from existing metamorphic rocks. When existing rocks undergo changes due to high pressure and/or high temperature and/or high shearing stresses, metamorphic rocks are formed. Igneous rocks are the oldest rocks, while metamorphic are being derivative of igneous rocks and sedimentary rocks. - Igneous rocks are the major proportion (nearly 95%) of the total rocks, while metamorphic rocks are found in a very small percentage.
