Breccia is typically a nonfoliated rock, meaning that it lacks the aligned mineral grains or bands characteristic of foliated rocks. Breccia forms from the cementation of broken rock fragments, giving it a distinct angular appearance.
Breccia is a type of rock found on the moon that consists of older rocks cemented together. It often forms as a result of impact events that shatter and mix different types of rock fragments before solidifying again.
Breccia is a sedimentary rock that is composed of large angular fragments of various rocks cemented together by a fine-grained matrix. These fragments are typically a mix of different minerals and rock types, giving breccia a diverse appearance.
Breccia usually has a dull to earthy luster due to its composition of angular rock fragments and matrix. The luster of breccia can vary depending on the types of rocks it contains and the amount of matrix present.
Breccia is a coarse-grained sedimentary rock that is composed of large, angular fragments.
Breccia is clastic.

Shiprock is comprised of a form of magma known as volcanic breccia.
Lunar breccia.
Breccia is a clastic sedimentary rock.
Firstly, a breccia is itself a kind of sedimentary rock. It consists mainly of large (pea sized and up), angular sediment grains. For an existing sedimentary rock to become a breccia, it must be weathered into fragments, redeposited elsewhere, and buried to sufficient pressure for the sediment to become rock.
