Quartzite is a hard, leafless metamorphic rock formed by the action of heat and pressure on sandstone.Usually, rocks are white or gray, but appear in other light colors. It has a granular rough surface. Magnification shows the mosaic of quartz crystals.Pure quartzite is composed entirely of silica, but iron oxides and trace minerals are usually present.
Quartzite is distributed in folded mountain ranges at globally convergent plate boundaries.Quartzite has a Mohs hardness of 7, which is comparable to quartz and much harder than sandstone.

The strength and toughness of quartzite make it useful for a variety of purposes. Crushed quartzite can be used for road construction and railway track balls. It is used to make roof tiles, stairs and floors. After cutting and polishing, the rock is beautiful and durable. It is used to make kitchen countertops and decorative walls. High-purity quartzite is used to make silica sand, ferrosilicon, silicon carbide and silicon. Paleolithic people sometimes made stone tools from quartzite, although it was more difficult to work than flint or obsidian.
