Quartzite
Lack of banding
Nonfoliated metamorphic rocks are formed around igneous intrusions where the temperatures are high but the pressures are relatively low and equal in all directions (confining pressure).
Quartzite is a nonfoliated metamorphic rock that is granular and composed mainly of quartz. It forms from the metamorphism of quartz-rich sandstone.
