Comendite is a hard, peralkaline igneous rock, a type of light blue grey rhyolite
Comendite derives its name from the area of Le Commende on San Pietro Island in Italy

Building houses or walls, Cement Manufacture, Construction Aggregate, for Road Aggregate, Landscaping, Making natural cement, Raw material for the manufacture of mortar
Very fine grained rock, It is One of the Oldest, Strongest and Hardest Rock
Comendite is a type of Igneous rock which is formed due to cooling and solidification of lava or magma. It may form with or without crystallization, either below the surface as intrusive rocks or on the surface as extrusive rocks.

Eclogite is an extreme metamorphic rock, formed by regional metamorphism of basalt rock under very high pressure and temperature
From French, Greek eklogē selection with reference to the selective content of the rock + -ite1

Eclogite forms from high-pressure metamorphism of mafic igneous rocks mainly, basalt or gabbro as it plunges into the mantle in a subduction zone.
