Schist is faliated medium grade metamorphic rock. It formed by metamorphosis of mudstone and shale or some form of igneous rock. It usually has better crystallization of mica minerals. This is called schistosity texture. There are many types of this rock so they may be named for mineral comprising the actual rock for example Mica schist.
