One would be a scratch test. The quartzite is much harder than the marble. Another test would be the use of dilute hydrochloric acid, which will cause decomposition of the calcite minerals forming the marble.

Can you have a rock comprised of a single mineral?

A rock such as quartzite or marble consists of basically one mineral. So yes, a rock could consist of a single mineral, although most definitions describe a rock as consisting of combinations of minerals.


Are marble and quartzite foliated or nonfoliated?

Marble will not show noticeable foliation, although it undergoes some pressure during metamorphism. That is because marble composition is almost 100% calcite. Even calcite crystals realign themselves perpendicular to stress direction, the realignment is still unnoticeable. However, if there are platy minerals, such as mica, which is really uncommon, marble should show foliated texture.
