What area of Texas are metamorphic rocks found?
The ring on gneiss and schist surrounding the roughly circular Llano Uplift located in the eastern region of the Edwards Plateau, west of the Texas Hill Country in Central Texas is one exposure of metamorphic rocks. The Marathon Mountains northeast of Big Bend National Park are another area of exposed, folded metamorphosed rocks.
What is the llano Basin?
The Llano Basin appears to be a misnomer for the geologic feature called the Llano Uplift. The flat-lying sediments of the Edwards Plateau truncate against the granitic basement rocks which are exposed in massive monoliths like Enchanted Rock.
The presence of many metamorphic rocks in Virginia is an indication that the area was subjected to what?
It could indicate that the area now exposed was subjected to erosion and uplift over a long expanse of time, thus exposing the metamorphic rock.
Where is there to hunt gems in Texas?
There is supposed to be some low grade opal in Texas, my guess would be around the SE corner near Louisiana. Lots of cool rocks and fossils all over, but if you want facetable gems, the Llano Uplift (an hour or two from Austin?) would be a good spot. Google Mason and Llano TX and see if you can find some maps or rock shops to get you closer. The state gem for Texas is topaz. It is found around the Mason, Tx, area. There are a couple of places that will let you dig for them. Do a search on the internet.
