Gneiss can be formed from a sedimentary rock such as sandstone or shale, or it can be formed from the metamorphism of the igneouse rock grantite. Gneiss can be used by man as paving and building stone. Non-Foliates are metamorphic rocks that have no cleavage at all. Quartzite and marble are two examples of non-foliates that we are going to study.

The formation of metamorphic rocks occurs as a result of either igneous or sedimentary rock being subjected to pressure and heat over a long period and is known as metamorphism. Regional metamorphism, which is the formation method of gneiss, occurs when the material is deeply buried under the ground, at depths of several miles. At these
