What platy mineral grains are the most visual aspect of foliated metamorphic rocks?

What platy parallel mineral grains are the most visual aspect of foliated metamorphic rocks?
Mica.
Is a volcano a rock or a mineral?

What is the geologic classification of olivine?
The mineral olivine is a magnesium iron silicate.
What is the parallel alignment of platy grains called?
The parallel alignment of platy grains is called "foliation." This texture occurs in metamorphic rocks where mineral grains, such as micas, are oriented in a parallel fashion due to directional pressure during metamorphism. Foliation can result in a layered or banded appearance in the rock, reflecting the alignment of these platy minerals.
What is salt's cleavage?
The rocks tend to spilt along parallel planes defined by distribution and parallel arrangment of platy mineral crystals.
