Mylonite is a metamorphic rock formed by ductile deformation during intense shearing encountered during folding and faulting, a process termed cataclastic or dynamic metamorphism
From Greek mulōn mill + -ite
Durable Rock, Medium Hardness Rock
Fine Grained Rock, Opaque Rock

Blastomylonites, Ultramylonites and Phyllonites
Mylonites are ductilely deformed rocks formed by the accumulation of large shear strain, in ductile fault zones.

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.
