metamorphic unit/complex/massif/rock
I found it "metamorphic" often used in combination with place names (i.e. names of specific geological units) - used adjectivally, as part of the noun phrase (e.g. Kłodzko Metamorphic Complex):
http://www.google.pl/#hl=pl&q=Kłodzko metamorphic&lr=&aq=&oq...
The Polish term for Kłodzko Metamorphic Complex (KMC) is Metamorfik Kłodzki.
http://www.google.pl/#hl=pl&q=metamorfik Kłodzki&lr=&aq=&oq=...
I haven't found it used without place names anywhere, and since you provide no context, I assume it might be used in some such place name combination in your source text.

Correction: of course found the term "metamorphic" used (adjectivally) without place names, as in "metamorphic rock". What I meant was I haven't found it used as a self-standing noun - only as part of a noun phrase, modifying a noun.
