Randomly arranged interlocking crystals and no fossils :)
Metamorphic rocks that consist of only one mineral that forms large interlocking crystals often have a _____ texture.
Interlocking grains refer to mineral grains that fit tightly together like puzzle pieces, creating a strong and cohesive rock structure. A rock type containing interlocking crystals is granulite, which forms under high temperature and pressure conditions where minerals recrystallize and interlock to form a solid mass.
Marble has visible interlocking crystals on a freshly fractured surface, and will fizz when strong vinegar is applied.
Metamorphic rocks that consist of only one mineral and have large interlocking crystals often have a coarse-grained texture. This means that the individual mineral grains are easily visible to the naked eye. Examples of such rocks include quartzite (formed from quartz) and marble (formed from calcite).
Yes, granite is made from interlocking crystals of minerals such as quartz, feldspar, and mica. The crystals are formed under intense heat and pressure deep within the Earth's crust, resulting in the strong and durable characteristics of granite.
Interlocking rocks are basically crystals. They form together and make crystals. So that's were crystal come from in most shops. So now you know that an example of an interlocking rock is a crystal
Mineral crystals in rock can be interlocked when forming or metamorphosed, or simply cemented together. Rocks with interlocking crystals tend to resist breakage by a force better than cemented rock.

hard strong rocks

interlocking crystals with various colors
Granite is composed of interlocking mineral crystals of quartz, micas, and feldspars mainly.
No, pumice is a volcanic rock that forms from the rapid cooling of magma containing high concentrations of gas. This rapid cooling prevents large crystals from forming, resulting in a frothy texture with tiny air bubbles, rather than interlocking visible crystals.
