  • Non-Foliated Metamorphic Rocks: Types, Properties & Examples
    There are many kinds of non-foliated metamorphic rocks! Here are a few examples:

    * Marble: Formed from limestone, marble is known for its beautiful swirling patterns and its use in sculptures and building materials.

    * Quartzite: Created from the transformation of sandstone, quartzite is extremely hard and resistant to weathering.

    * Hornfels: This rock is formed by the intense heat of an igneous intrusion baking surrounding rocks. It often has a glassy texture.

    * Anthracite: A highly metamorphosed form of coal, anthracite is very hard and burns with a smokeless flame.

    * Serpentinite: A green, often slick, rock formed from the alteration of ultramafic rocks like peridotite.

    These are just a few examples, and there are many other non-foliated metamorphic rocks!
