Gneiss from Queenstown, New Zealand

$19.00$400.00

Gneiss ( /ˈns/) is a common distributed type of rock formed by high-grade regional metamorphic processes from pre-existing formations that were originally either igneous or sedimentary rocks. It is often foliated (composed of layers of sheet-like planar structures). The foliations are characterized by alternating darker and lighter colored bands, called “gneissic banding”.

Polished K Feldspar-Epidote-Quartz-Biotite Matrix

Feldspars are a group of rock-forming tectosilicateminerals that make up about 41% of the Earth‘s continental crust by weight.[2]

Feldspars crystallize from magma as veins in both intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks and are also present in many types of metamorphic rock.[3] Rock formed almost entirely of calcic plagioclase feldspar (see below) is known as anorthosite.[4] Feldspars are also found in many types of sedimentary rocks.[5]
