Classification of Metamorphic Rocks. TEXTURES Textures of metamorphic rocks fall into two broad groups, FOLIATED and NON-FOLIATED. Foliation is produced in a rock by the parallel alignment of platy minerals (e.g., muscovite, biotite, chlorite), needle-like minerals (e.g., hornblende), or tabular minerals (e.g., feldspars). This parallel alignment causes the rock to split easily into thin layers or sheets. Foliation is common in aphanitic as well as phaneritic metamorphic rocks. Some foliated rocks are also banded. Banding means that the rock consists of alternating, thin layers (typically 1 mm to 1 cm) of two different mineral compositions. Normally, the two types of layers have the same kinds of minerals, but in different proportions, giving the rock a striped appearance. Banding, by itself, defines a foliation.
