k Gneiss with garnet Macrophotograph of gneiss with garnet pink from Moos, Passeier, South Tyrol, Italy. Gneiss is a common and widely distributed metamorphic rock. It is formed by high temperature and highpressure metamorphic processes acting on formations composed of igneous or sedimentary rocks. Gneiss nearly always has a banded texture characterised by alternating darker and lighter bands, without a distinct foliation. The darker bands contain more mafic minerals, such as magnesium and iron. The lighter bands contain relatively more felsic minerals, such as silicon, oxygen, aluminium, sodium, and potassium.
