Here is the corrected text: White Quartzite: Formed from sandstone that has been tightly compressed to the point where the clasts recrystallize to form a new rock. This formation mechanism, coupled with the inherent strength of quartz, makes quartzite a very durable rock.

This set of six samples is excellent for group study and examination.
