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.
When sandstone is cemented to quartzite, the individual quartz grains recrystallize along with the former cementing material to form an interlocking mosaic of quartz crystals. Most or all of the original texture and sedimentary structures of the sandstone are erased by the metamorphism.ure quartzite is usually white to grey, though quartzites often occur in various shades of pink and red due to varying amounts of iron oxide (Fe 2 O 3). Other colors, such as yellow, green, blue and orange, are due to other mineral impurities.
