Quartzite is a metamorphic rock that forms from the alteration of sandstone under high heat and pressure. It is primarily composed of quartz grains, which are tightly interlocked, giving it a dense and durable texture. Quartzite is often used in construction and decorative applications due to its hardness and resistance to weathering. Its color can vary widely, depending on the mineral content and impurities present during its formation.
