Is Marble Monomineralic
Two types of rocks with similar uniaxial compressive strength are chosen.
Is marble monomineralic. Monomineralic igneous rocks are dunite more than 90 olivine and anorthosite more than 90 plagioclase feldspar. Common monomineralic metamorphic rocks are marble and quartzite although they do not need necessarily to be monomineralic. Marble is commonly used for sculpture and as a building material. Similar is the situation with their sedimentary protoliths limestone and sandstone which may be very pure.
Common monomineralic metamorphic rocks are marble and quartzite although they do not need necessarily to be monomineralic. Monomineralic applied to rocks composed of one mineral type only. This is the most important difference between most igneous monomineralic rocks which need to be more than 90. One is granite which is an igneous rock that is polymineralic the other is marble which is monomineralic and relatively homogeneous.
