The
parent rock for quartzite is quartz-rich sandstone. As sandstone
becomes deeply buried, rising temperature will fuse the quartz
grains together forming the extremely hard and weather-resistant
rock quartzite. Like marble, quartzite comes in many colors, but
when pure it is light-colored. Quartzite tends to have a sugary
appearance, and when broken the fractures cut through the sand
grains, not around them as with a sandstone.
