Frequently Asked Questions

How do you distinguish between sandstone and quartzite?

Quartzite is a metamorphic rock derived from sandstone that is distinguished from sandstone by its fracture. Sandstone breaks along grain boundaries, whereas quartzite is so well indurated (hardened) that it breaks across constituent grains.

What is the meaning of quartzite?

Definition of quartzite. : a compact granular rock composed of quartz and derived from sandstone by metamorphism.

What does quartzite feel like?

What the results mean: Real quartzite will scratch glass easily. You’ll hear it grind and you’ll feel it bite into the glass. Non-quartzite will either leave no scratch or a very faint scratch. Often the rock feels slippery against the glass.
