Granite: Applications & Art

Granite (/ˈɡræn.ɪt/, GRAN-it or /ˈɡræn.aɪt/, GRAN-eye-t) is a coarse-grained (phaneritic) intrusive igneous rock composed mostly of quartz, alkali feldspar, mica and plagioclase. It forms from magma with a high content of silica and alkali metal oxides that slowly cools and solidifies underground. It is common in the continental crust of Earth, where it…
