Schist typically belongs to the metamorphic category of minerals and does not have a specific crystal system since it is a foliated rock composed mainly of micaceous minerals. However, the individual minerals within schist, such as muscovite and biotite, usually belong to the monoclinic or hexagonal crystal systems. The foliation in schist is a result of the alignment of these plate-like minerals under directed pressure and temperature conditions during metamorphism.

What is the difference between schist and marble?
Schist is a metamorphic rock with medium to coarse grain size that typically forms from the metamorphism of shale or mudstone. Marble is a metamorphic rock primarily composed of calcite or dolomite minerals that forms from the metamorphism of limestone. Schist has a foliated texture, while marble has a non-foliated texture.

No, schist is a metamorphic rock type characterized by strong foliation, while mica schist is a specific type of schist that contains a high proportion of mica minerals like muscovite or biotite. Mica schist has a distinct shiny appearance due to the abundance of mica minerals.
