Types of Amphibolite and Comendite

Some rocks according to their use or texture are classified into different types. Know more about Amphibolite Texture and Comendite Texture. Types of Amphibolite are Hornblendite whereas the types of Comendite are Rhyolite.During historic times, some rocks depending on their hardness were used to create Pictographs and Petroglyphs. Rocks which are hard were generally not used. Pictographs are paintings or drawings that have been placed or created on the surface of rock. Amphibolite and Comendite were not used for creating pictographs. Petroglyph is an image which is carved into a rock. These are images created by removing part of a rock surface by incising, picking, carving or abrading, as a form of rock art. Amphibolite and Comendite were not used for creating petroglyphs.
