The Definitive Guide to Quartzite

Quartzite is a metamorphic rock made almost entirely of the mineral quartz. Quartzite begins its geologic life as sand grains, perhaps on a beach, desert dune, or riverbed. Over time, the sand grains become compressed and stuck together to form sandstone. If the sandstone gets buried ever more deeply underneath layers of rocks, it gets hotter ...

Geology

Quartzite Quartzite is a metamorphic rock formed when quartz-rich sandstone or chert has been exposed to high temperatures and pressures. Such conditions fuse the quartz grains together forming a dense, hard, equigranular rock. The name quartzite implies not only a high degree of induration (hardness), but also a high quartz content.

Mineral Hardness and the Mohs Scale

The Mohs Hardness Scale is a widely recognized and simple scale for measuring the scratch resistance of various minerals. Created by Friedrich Mohs, a German geologist, in 1812, it remains a standard in geology, mineralogy, and material science. The scale is qualitative, ranking minerals from 1 to 10, with 1 representing the softest mineral and 10 the hardest.

Quartzite

Quartzite is a metamorphic rock consisting largely or entirely of quartz 1. In the vast majority of cases, it is a metamorphosed sandstone. Pure quartzite is grayish rock with only one dominating mineral — quartz. Width of sample 14 cm. The transition from sandstone to quartzite is gradational. There is little mineralogical change.

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.

A Deep Dive Into the Properties of Quartzite

Sandstone and quartzite are similar, but different. Lately I've been seeing a new wrinkle: sandstone being labeled as quartzite. This one is trickier to resolve, because sandstone and quartzite are made of the same mineral – quartz – and they have similar properties. Both sandstone and quartz have a hardness of 7 and will easily scratch ...
