About Black Gneiss Blocks : Gneiss Rock is formed by high temperature and high pressure metamorphic processes acting on formations composed of igneous or sedimentary rocks. Gneiss is foliated, which means that it has layers of lighter and darker minerals. These layers are of varying densities and appear as a result of the intense pressure used to form gneiss.

In simplified terms, you can think of gneiss as a metamorphic version of granite. Both gneiss and granite are made of feldspars, quartz, mica, and smaller amounts of dark colored minerals like hornblende. The difference between granite and gneiss is in their overall texture and movement. Granite is evenly speckled.

Quartzite is a non-foliated metamorphic rock that forms by the metamorphism of pure quartz sandstone. Gneiss is a common and widely distributed type of rock formed by high-grade regional metamorphic processes from pre-existing formations that were originally either igneous or sedimentary rocks.
