Granite stone
is a common and widely occurring type of intrusive, felsic, igneous
rock. Granite usually has a medium to coarse grained texture.
Occasionally some individual crystals (phenocrysts) are larger than the
groundmass in which case the texture is known as porphyritic. A granitic
rock with a porphyritic texture is sometimes known as a porphyry.
Granite stone can be pink to gray in color, depending on their chemistry
and mineralogy. By definition, granite
stone has a color index (i.e. the percentage of the rock made up of
dark minerals) of less than 25%. Outcrops of tend to form tors, and
rounded massifs. Granite stone sometimes occur in circular depressions
surrounded by a range of hills, formed by the metamorphic aureole or
hornfels.Granite stone is nearly always massive (lacking internal structures),
hard and tough, and therefore it has gained widespread use as a
construction stone. The word stone comes from the Latin granum, a grain, in reference to
the coarse-grained stone structure of such a crystalline rock.
