Amphibolite is a type of metamorphic rock that forms deep underground. It has a unique texture and is often used in construction and sculptures.
The Amphibolite is a dark rock, typically appearing black or deep greenish-black, sometimes with a greyish hue. It often has a speckled appearance from its mineral crystals and can show a subtle banding due to mineral alignment.
