'' the properties of the metamorphic rock quartzite depend on the properties of its parent rock, sandstone. Some sandstone are made almost entirely of quartz sand grains. Quartzite consists largely of quartz crystal. Under heat and pressure, the spaces between the sandstone's grains are filled, and the rock recrystallizes into quartzite.
