Summary

| Description |
English: Schist is an intermediate- to high-grade, foliated metamorphic rock. It is highly variable in appearance, depending on the mineral content, which is a consequence of specific temperature-pressure conditions and the type of precursor rock. Garden-variety schists form by metamorphism of phyllites. Schists typically have medium- to large-sized crystals, unlike the microcrystalline nature of slate & phyllite. Schist's foliated texture (= crystals aligned into bands or stripes or layers) is often only seen when specimens are viewed on edge.
Locality: unrecorded / undisclosed site at or near the town of Gassetts, southeastern Vermont, USA |
