A rock with minerals aligned into bands or layers.
foliated
foliated
Diamond is non-foliated.
Well foliated rocks have layers and non foliated does not have layers.
The metamorphic rock, slate, is considered foliated.
Talc is a foliated mineral. Foliated minerals have a layered or banded structure due to the alignment of mineral grains, giving them a distinct sheet-like appearance.

Rock salt is not foliated.
Nope
Sedimentary rock is typically nonfoliated, meaning it does not have a layered or banded appearance like foliated metamorphic rocks. Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation of sediments without undergoing the intense heat and pressure that would cause foliation.
The presence of aligned minerals in the rock determines if it is foliated or non-foliated. Foliated metamorphic rocks have minerals that are arranged in layers or bands, while non-foliated rocks do not show any preferred orientation of minerals. The amount of pressure and temperature the rock experiences during metamorphism also influences whether it will develop a foliated or non-foliated texture.
Marble is non-foliated.
