gneiss is foliated(layered) so therefore, if you see a black and white gneiss and a similar-colored granite then just see if the gneiss looks like it is layered!

World's tallest stone structure?
1. San Jacinto Memorial (TEXAS) 567.31-foot 172.9 m 2. The Washington Monument (U.S.A) 555 feet 5⅛ inches 169.294 m 3. Great Pyramid of Giza (Egypt) 481 Feet 146.6 meters This is a tough one, the San Jacinto Memorial is made of reinforced concrete - does this count as a 'stone structure'? Does this question then include towers and concrete buildings? - if so the Juche memorial tower in North Korea would come in second, taller than The Washington Monument. The Washington Monument is a genuine stone structure made of bluestone gneiss as well as other commemorative stones, and should be counted as the tallest.
