Granite

Granite is a coarse-grained igneous rock composed mainly of quartz, feldspar, and mica. It is one of the most common types of intrusive rocks, meaning it forms from the slow crystallization of magma beneath the Earth's surface. Granite is known for its durability, strength, and aesthetic appeal, making it a popular choice for construction and decorative purposes, such as countertops, flooring, and monuments. Its various mineral compositions give it a range of colors, including white, pink, gray, and black. The interlocking crystals of quartz, feldspar, and mica give granite its characteristic speckled appearance.
