Schist is a type of metamorphic rock that tends to break along foliations or cleavage planes due to the alignment of minerals during its formation. To break schist, you can use geological tools like a rock hammer or chisel to apply force along these planes to split the rock. It is important to wear proper safety gear like goggles and gloves when breaking rocks.
