Metamorphic rock with mineral grains not arranged in layers

Real World Example

Imagine trying to organize a drawer full of mismatched socks, where no two socks are the same and there's no clear way to group them neatly. This is similar to a nonfoliated metamorphic rock, where the mineral grains are not arranged in layers or patterns. Just like the socks that remain ungrouped and scattered, the mineral grains in nonfoliated rocks are randomly oriented, lacking the structured layers you'd find in their foliated counterparts, such as how a neatly organized sock drawer might look.
