5 Formation
5.1 Formation
Due to change in environmental conditions, rocks are heated and pressurized deep inside the Earth's surface. Jadeitite is formed from the extreme heat caused by magma or by the intense collisions and friction of tectonic plates.
Migmatites form by high temperature regional and thermal metamorphism of protolith rocks where rocks melt partially due to high temperature.

Jadeitite vs Migmatite Information

Earth’s outer layer is covered by rocks and these rocks have different physical and chemical properties. As two rocks are not same, it’s fun to compare them. You can also know more about Jadeitite and Migmatite Reserves. Jadeitite is a metamorphic rock usually found in blueschist grade metamorphic terrains. Migmatite is typically a granitic rock within a metamorphic host rock which is composed of two intermingled but distinguishable components. These rocks are composed of many distinct minerals. The process of formation of rocks is different for various rocks. Rocks are quarried from many years for various purposes. You can check out Jadeitite vs Migmatite information and Jadeitite vs Migmatite characteristics in the upcoming sections.

Jadeitite vs Migmatite Characteristics

Though some rocks look identical, they have certain characteristics which distinguish them from others. Characteristics of rocks include texture, appearance, color, fracture, streak, hardness etc. Jadeitite vs Migmatite characteristics assist us to distinguish and recognize rocks. Also you can check about Properties of Jadeitite and Properties of Migmatite. Learn more about Jadeitite vs Migmatite in the next section. The interior uses of Jadeitite include Decorative aggregates, Homes and Interior decoration whereas the interior uses of Migmatite include Countertops, Flooring and Kitchens. Due to some exceptional properties of Jadeitite and Migmatite, they have various applications in construction industry.
