Is a jewel a metamorphic rock?

Answer 1

Yes and No!

Minerals that form crystals in rock are sometimes rare and unusual. These are "jewels" or "gemstones."

The heat and pressure that form metamorphic rocks are also responsible for altering the minerals inside the rock often producing gemstones. For example, Coal is made from Carbon, if enough heat and pressure is applied to the Coal it will become a Diamond. The Diamond is still made from Carbon, but it's properties have changed because of the extreme conditions.

Answer 2

The natural diamonds found on the surface of the Earth are there as a result of Igneous processes. Diamond crystals form very very deep in the Earth and are brought to the surface in a Volcanic event that is extremely explosive - a "diatreme".

Answer 3

No, a jewel is not a metamorphic rock. Jewels are gemstones or precious stones that are typically minerals with attractive colors and properties. Metamorphic rocks are formed from the transformation of existing rock types due to heat, pressure, or chemical processes within the Earth's crust.

Answer 4

A diamond is a crystalline mineral form of the element carbon. Igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary are descriptive terms used to classify types of rocks, not minerals such as diamond.

Answer 5

nope
