Opal is neither a sedimentary, igneous, nor metamorphic rock. It is actually a mineraloid composed of hydrated silica that is formed from silica-rich solutions at low temperature, often found in sedimentary rocks like sandstone or volcanic areas.
What is an example of metamorphic igneous and sedimentary rocks?
Metamorphic rock: Marble, formed from the metamorphism of limestone. Igneous rock: Granite, formed from the cooling and solidification of molten magma. Sedimentary rock: Sandstone, formed from the compaction and cementation of sand grains.
