Yes. The most extreme examples of this would be the micas, and perhaps graphite. You may like to check whether talc also has this character.
I think its metamorphic
Non-foliated.
Metamorphic rock with mineral grains arranaged in bands or lamellar planes are called foliated metamorphic rocks.
What kind of metamorphic rock has its mineral grains arranged in planes or bands
Metamorphic rock with mineral grains arranaged in bands or lamellar planes are called foliated metamorphic rocks.
most minerals have a distinctive crystal arrangement. those minerals that do not have their atoms arranged in crystals are called amorphous minerals.
No, they do not have bands of crystals but they are all crystalline.
A type of rock that contains bands of crystals is known as banded or agate rock. Banded rocks are formed through a process where different mineral layers create alternating bands of color and composition, resulting in a striped appearance. These bands can be made up of various types of crystals such as quartz, calcite, or jasper.
Foliated rock. If you are looking for whether the rock has no bands it is non-foliated.-Anonymous person but very smart ! :)
The metamorphic rock you are referring to is called foliated rock. Foliated rocks have mineral crystals aligned in parallel layers or bands, resulting from the re-alignment of minerals due to pressure and heat during metamorphism. Examples of foliated rocks include slate, schist, and gneiss.
Gneiss usually consists of visible crystals of aligned mineral assemblages.
