actually, it truly depends on the type of rock the metamorphic rock formed from.
in other words, if it formed from a rock that held basalt in it, the rock has basalt in it.
remember that a metamorphic rock can be formed by more than two different types of rock (such as metamorphic quartz, slate, "fool's gold", plus granite).
it does not matter which class the metamorphic rock formed from (but if a m.
rock such as m. quartz, there is more likely a chance of finding a trace of basalt), as long as it formed from two different class of rock (this does not always apply, for there can be a metamorphic rock made from two or more metamorphic rocks).
i would get into geodes......
but that's another answer. :)

Igneous: * Obsidian * Granite * Diorite * Gabbro * Pumice * Basalt Metamorphic: * Slate * Phyllite * Gneiss * Mica schist * Marble * Quartzite * Granulite Sedimentary: * Limestone * Sandstone * Shale * Chert * Mudstone * Chalk
What type of rock are granite pumice and basalt?
Non-foliated metamorphic, organic sedimentary, and extrusive igneous, respectively.
What are crystals igneous sedimentary or metamorphic?
its igneous and sedimentary and metamorphic
Is granite gneiss marble limestone shale or basalt an igneous rock?
These are sedimentary rocks. Sandstone is made of compressed grains of rock and sand. Shale is made of compressed bits of mud and clay. Limestone is made of compressed pieces of forms of calcium carbonate.
Name the 3 kinds of rocks?
There are three major types of rock: igneous (formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava) sedimentary (laid down as sediments) and metamorphic (changed by heat and/or pressure)
Is basalt a igneous metamorphic or sedimentary rock?
Basalt is an extrusive igneous rock.
Is basalt igneous sedimentary metamorphic?
Basalt is an igneous rock . . . it is pretty much hardened lava.
Give one example of each rock category?
Igneus-Basalt Sedimentary-Limestone Metamorphic-Granite
What famous formation has been built with igneous rocks?
BASALT is for igneous. SLATE is for metamorphic. LIMESTONE is for sedimentary.
Is masomry stone a sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rocks (such as sandstone and limestone), igneous rocks (such as granite and basalt), and metamorphic rocks (such as marble) are all used in masonry.

These are sedimentary rocks. Sandstone is made of compressed grains of rock and sand. Shale is made of compressed bits of mud and clay. Limestone is made of compressed pieces of forms of calcium carbonate.
Can metamorphic rocks melt to form sedimentary rocks?
No, sedimentary is formed by compression. Metamorphic is created by heat and pressure. Sedimentary can be melted to create metamorphic.
A metamorphic rock from basalt?
