Connecting locally dense crack regions, crack arrays, and grain boundary eventually forms a macrocrack. [1] Before forming a fault, there is a fracture process zone (FPZ). [5] [11] It is a region of microcracks near the tip of a rock failure. [5] [11] It is associated with the crack localization and related to energy dissipation. [11]

Chalcedony (/ k æ l ˈ s ɛ d ə n i / kal-SED-ə-nee or / ˈ k æ l s ə ˌ d oʊ n i / KAL-sə-doh-nee) [2] is a cryptocrystalline form of silica, composed of very fine intergrowths of quartz and moganite. [3] These are both silica minerals, but they differ in that quartz has a trigonal crystal structure, while moganite is monoclinic.
Oblique section of modern Wilfley (wet) table. The Wilfley Table was built to solve a problem common in the recovery of heavy ore minerals; approximately 90% of gold grains, platinum group minerals, sulphides, arsenides/antimonides and tellurides, in source rocks are silt-sized (<0.063 mm (0.0025 in)).

Greywacke or graywacke (German grauwacke, signifying a grey, earthy rock) is a variety of sandstone generally characterized by its hardness (6–7 on Mohs scale), dark color, and poorly sorted angular grains of quartz, feldspar, and small rock fragments or sand-size lithic fragments set in a compact, clay-fine matrix.

Quartzite can have a grainy, glassy, sandpaper-like surface. Quartzite is a hard, non-foliated metamorphic rock which was originally pure quartz sandstone. [1] [2] Sandstone is converted into quartzite through heating and pressure usually related to tectonic compression within orogenic belts.
