Gneiss is a coarse grained metamorphized igneous rock. In this rock, you get the recrystallization and foliation of quartz, feldspars, micas, and amphiboles into alternating light and dark colored bands.

Gneiss can be identified by its pattern of alternating light and dark bands. The light bands contain feldspars, and the dark bands contain hornblende and biotite. Gneiss comes from a variety of rocks, including granite, sandstone, and shale, that have undergone regional metamorphism.

This report presents the strength characteristics of schistose gneiss as revealed by laboratory tests for shear, compressive, and tensile strength of the material. Unconfined compression and direct tension tests were made of intact rock while triaxial compression tests were made of both intact and jointed rock.
