What does schist look like?
Sheen, usually attributable to mica crystals. --------------------------------------------- There is a bit more to it than this (although the above is true). The individual mineral grains in a schist are drawn out into flaky scales by heat and pressure and can be seen by the naked eye. Schist is therefore characteristically foliated, meaning the individual mineral grains split off easily into flakes or slabs. Indeed, the word schist is derived from the Greek word meaning "to split", which is a reference to the ease with which schists can be split along the plane in which the platy minerals lie.
What type of rocks Schist?
