Metamorphic rocks have about the same minerals as igneous or sedimentary because they are just changed by heat and pressure on the metamorphic rock. This is an example of a metamorphic rock.

3 Samantha Christine One way to identify Metamorphic rocks is to look at the way grains are formed. For example, Schist rocks have grains that go the same way as the layers. Some Metamorphic rocks are layered while others are made up of grains. Another way is to compare the rocks to ones on the internet or in a book. Slate is grey and purple. Schist looks like flakes and is sliver. The bands of Gneiss are light and dark colored. The color of Quartzite is white, and Marble is multicolored.
