Quartzite is typically coarse-grained, with individual grains visible to the naked eye. This is because quartzite is formed by the metamorphism of sandstone, where the original sand grains recrystallize into larger grains.
Slate typically does not have abundant coarse-grained mica in it. Mica is more commonly found in other metamorphic rocks such as schist and gneiss. Slate is formed from the low-grade metamorphism of shale or mudstone, resulting in a fine-grained, foliated rock without abundant coarse-grained minerals like mica.
A peridotite is a dense, coarse-grained igneous rock
fine grained or coarse grained
Granite is a coarse grained igneous rock without Pyroxene.

Coarse-grained igneous rocks are formed when magma cools slowly deep inside the Earth. Creating big crystals in them.

Fine grained has larger crystals and coarse grained has smaller crystals
Fine grained has larger crystals and coarse grained has smaller crystals
Limestone can be both coarse-grained and fine-grained, depending on its composition and how it formed. Coarse-grained limestone typically contains larger mineral grains visible to the naked eye, while fine-grained limestone has smaller mineral grains that are not easily seen without magnification.
It is coarse-grained.
Yes. Exactly, they do have both, fine grained and coarse grained rocks.
