Geological classification of quartzite is a metamorphic rock because it formed metamorphic action on sandstone.
Chemical classification is silicious rock. It is a non-stratified rock.

Geology - rocks, and minerals. Quartzite is a metamorphic rock formed when quartz-rich sandstone or chert has been exposed to high temperatures and pressures. Such conditions fuse the quartz grains together forming a dense, hard, equigranular rock.

Granite and quartzite are sillious rock.
Slate and laterite rock are argillaceous rock.
Marble and limestone are calcareous rock.
These are all chemical classifications of rock.
