metamorphic facies
Mudstone can be changed into a metamorphic rock through the process of metamorphism, where it is subjected to high temperature and pressure. This causes recrystallization of minerals, reorganization of grains, and the development of new mineral assemblages, transforming the mudstone into a new metamorphic rock such as slate, schist, or gneiss.
Aquamarine is a form of the mineral beryl.
The mineralogy (i.e. the types of minerals present within the rock) and also the texture of the rock (i.e. the size, arrangement and orientation of mineral grains within the rock) along with it's structure (the presence of features such as foliation and cleavage).
Nonfoliated metamorphic rock would be:Quartzite - composed of the mineral quartz; metamorphosed sandstoneMarble - composed of the mineral calcite; metamorphosed limestone
Ruby is a variety of the mineral corundum, and is not classified as sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic in the manner of rocks.
Because different rocks are formed by different processes and made up of different mineral assemblages.

Metamorphic rocks that form at over 1500 degrees Celsius include eclogite and granulite. These rocks are typically formed under high temperatures and pressures in the Earth's lower crust or upper mantle. They exhibit unique mineral assemblages and textures due to the extreme conditions under which they were formed.

The mineral commonly found in all three metamorphic rocks slate, schist, and gneiss is mica. Mica is a group of minerals known for their perfect cleavage, flexibility, and mineral composition, which make them prevalent in metamorphic rocks.
Fluorite is a commonly found mineral that forms from hydrothermal processes and is often associated with rocks of various origins, including sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks. While it can be found in metamorphic environments, fluorite itself is not considered a metamorphic rock.
Foliation is a characteristic of some metamorphic rocks.
Ruby is a variety of the mineral corundum, and is not classified as sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic in the manner of rocks.
Metamorphic rock with mineral grains arranaged in bands or lamellar planes are called foliated metamorphic rocks.
No, sodalite is a metamorphic mineral, not a rock. It is a blue mineral commonly found in igneous rocks like syenite or nepheline syenite.
