The great hardness of quartzite makes it difficult to drill and dress; but, on account of its durability, it is sometimes used as a building stone. The crushed rock makes good railroad ballast and concrete. Pure white quartzite is ground and used in making glass. It is also used in the manufacture of ferro-silicon, and silica .

Rhyolite. Rhyolite is a felsic (silica-rich) volcanic igneous rock with the same mineral content as granite, only unlike granite, it cools fast from the molten rock near or over the surface of Earth's crust (extrusive type).When these magmas erupt, a rock with two grain sizes typically forms. The larger crystals that form just beneath the surface cool at a slower pace and are known as phenocrysts.
