Gabbro has a very rough texture (referred to as coarse or phaneritic) .
Gneiss is generally heavy due to its high density and composition of minerals such as quartz, feldspar, and mica. It is a type of metamorphic rock that is often denser than most sedimentary rocks.
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.
No, gneiss is metamorphic.
Gneiss is foliated and coarse grained
Gneiss is a rock, not a mineral.
Gneiss is a part of the earths lower crust. No matter where you drill you will eventually uncover gneiss.
No. Gneiss has alternating light and dark bands.
No. Phyllite can metamorphose into schist and then into gneiss.
No. Gneiss is a metamorphic rock.
Yes, gneiss will split with a hammer.
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!
