Metamorphic layers are often avoided since they are the type with the lowest variety of metal [[ore]]s, however they are the most rich in [[gem]]s. Unlike [[sedimentary layer]]s, metamorphic rock can be found in the same [[biome]] as [[igneous extrusive layer]]s. As [[igneous extrusive layer]]s are almost always present in areas of volcanic activity, this makes [[marble]] the easiest flux fo find on the same map as a magma vent.
'''Metamorphic layers''' are often avoided since they are the type with the lowest variety of metal [[ore]]s. However, they are richer in [[gem]]s than any other type. Unlike [[sedimentary layer]]s, metamorphic rock can be found in the same [[biome]] as [[igneous extrusive layer]]s. As [[igneous extrusive layer]]s are almost always present in areas of [[volcano|volcanic activity]], this makes [[marble]] the easiest [[flux]] to find on the same map as a [[magma vent]].
 
  
(In real world geology, metamorphic [[rock]] is formed by an already-existing rock type being turned into another type while remaining solid all the way through, a process called metamorphism. This is not true for Dwarf Fortress.)
