Description
Quartzite is a metamorphic rock that can form in many colors including pink, white and gray. Formerly a sandstone, greywacke, arkose or siltstone, quartzite consists of mostly quartz with minor amounts of mica, feldspar, magnetite, garnet and calcite among others. This fine- to medium-grained rock is very hard and tough.
An information card with details on the rock formation, mineral content, characteristics, and uses is included. Typical samples sizes are generally 1-2 inches in length or width but can vary based on availability and natural formation.
