Difference between Quartz arenite and Quartzite

Quartz arenite vs. Quartzite

A quartz arenite or quartzarenite is a sandstone composed of greater than 90% detrital quartz, with limited amounts of other framework grains (feldspar, lithic fragments, etc.) and matrix. Quartzite (from Quarzit) is a hard, non-foliated metamorphic rock which was originally pure quartz sandstone.

Similarities between Quartz arenite and Quartzite

Quartz arenite and Quartzite have 4 things in common (in Unionpedia): Metamorphic rock, Quartz, Sandstone, Sedimentary rock.

Metamorphic rock
