Some rocks according to their use or texture are classified into different types. Know more about Metapelite Texture and Epidosite Texture.

Rocks which are hard were generally not used. Pictographs are paintings or drawings that have been placed or created on the surface of rock. Metapelite and Epidosite were for creating pictographs.
