1. Quality Granite for Quality People
Granite, as we all know is a rock which derives its name from the Latin word granum, which
means grains. It is so named because of its texture which is grain like. It is a crystalline rock
which comprises of quartz, mica and feldspar. The rock is ductile than marble and other rocks.
According to the astronomical findings granite is presently found only on Earth where it forms
the continental crust. The granite is composed of various chemicals and their composition differs
everywhere. For example when a granite rock composes of hundred percent of orthoclase it is
called as tonalite. When a granite rock consists of two different types of mica it is called binary
mica.
Granite is an igneous rock which has originated from magma. Thus the rock has a weak first
permeability but strong secondary permeability. It is the most abundantly found basement rock in
the world which is found in every continent inside the crust. Due to its origination the granite
rock is differentiated into two types that is, I- type granite or the igneous protolith granite and the
S- type or sedimentary protolith granite. There is another type of granite called the M- type or the
mantle granite. These mantle granites are formed by fractional crystallization which is rare as
turning basalt into granite is tough.
Granite is used in architecture, for example in Tanjore, India the world's first temple completely
built with granite. The Red Pyramid in Egypt has also been made using red granite. Granite is
also for sculpting. There are many carvings done out of granite like the Ajanta and the Elephanta
caves which have many granite sculptures. The granite has been used since ages by the different
societies and countries. Many civilizations have also used granite as one of the preferred rocks.
