Schist rocks can be both permeable and impermeable, depending on factors such as the size and arrangement of mineral grains, the presence of fractures or faults, and the level of metamorphism they have undergone. In general, schist rocks tend to have higher permeability compared to other metamorphic rocks such as gneiss or marble.
Gneiss usually consists of visible crystals of aligned mineral assemblages.
Yes, you can. Gneiss is quite similar to granite.
The texture defines the gneiss. If it varies, it's not gneiss. I'm studying the same thing! -8th Grader! :D
Gneiss is a common type of metamorphic rock found worldwide. It forms when pre-existing rocks are subjected to intense heat and pressure, resulting in a distinctive banded texture. While gneiss is not considered rare, specific types of gneiss with unique mineral compositions or origins may be less common.

A Gneiss is a Metamorphic rock
Gneiss is foliated.
Gneiss is foliated and coarse grained
Gneiss is a rock, not a mineral.
No, gneiss is metamorphic.
Gneiss is a part of the earths lower crust. No matter where you drill you will eventually uncover gneiss.
No. Phyllite can metamorphose into schist and then into gneiss.
No. Gneiss has alternating light and dark bands.
Yes, gneiss will split with a hammer.
No. Gneiss is a metamorphic rock.
I am trying to find out what the other two types of rock besides gneiss form the Matterhorn. Gneiss is a metamorphic rock. That's a nice piece of gneiss!
