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.
Quartzite, a form of metamorphic rock, from the Museum of Geology at University of Tartu collection. Metamorphic rocks arise from the transformation of existing rock types, in a process called metamorphism, which means change in form. The original rock (protolith) is subjected to heat (temperatures greater than 150 to 200 Â°C) and pressure (1500 bars), causing profound physical and/or chemical change. The protolith may be a sedimentary rock, an igneous rock or another older metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rocks make up a large part of the Earth's crust and are classified by texture and by chemical and mineral assemblage (metamorphic facies).
