It should be noted that not all
metamorphic rocks make good construction materials. The previously
mentioned rocks contain large amount of quartz, making then hard and
resistant to chemical weathering. Gneiss from an igneous
rock, can often times be just as strong as any granite or diorite. But,
many metamorphic rocks, after enjoying deformation and metamorphism, are
left with many fractures and veins, which leave then weaker. Mylonites
can be this way. Schists and phyllites usually have a higher mica
content (biotite, muscovite, and chlorite). These minerals are platy and
soft. Schists themselves are very platy and don't make great dimension
stone or aggregate.
