granite
An igneous stone type, characterized by a distinctive grain structure, and extreme hardness Many granite types are ideal for precision applications They can be lapped to a very smooth and extremely flat surface The hardness gives granite excellent wear resistance, and the elasticity of the material insures that it returns to its original accuracy after loading/unloading For more on granite as a surface plate material, see our FAQ page
Broadly applied,any quartz-bearing plutonic rock composed entirely of crystals, i e having no glassy part
A course grained igneous rock consisting of quartz, feldspar and mica
Soda-granite
Igneous rock composed predominantly of visible grains of feldspar and quartz Used in building
Granite is a very hard rock used in building. a very hard grey rock, often used in building (granito, from granum; GRAIN). Coarse-or medium-grained intrusive rock that is rich in quartz and alkali feldspar. One of the most common rocks of the Earth's crust, it is formed by the cooling of magma. Granite was once used extensively as paving blocks and building stone, but today its principal uses are as roadway curbing, veneer for building faces, and tombstones. Granite characteristically forms irregular masses of extremely variable size, ranging from less than 5 mi (8 km) in maximum dimension to larger masses (batholiths) that are often hundreds of square miles in area
A coarse-grained intrusive igneous rock with at least 65% silica Quartz, plagioclase feldspar and potassium feldspar make up most of the rock and give it a fairly light color Granite has more potassium feldspar than plagioclase feldspar Usually with biotite, but also may have hornblende
n a felsic, igneous, intrusive rock composed primarily of feldspar and quartz
An igneous rock composed chiefly of feldspar and quartz, usually with one or more other minerals: e g , mica, hornblends
A crystalline, granular rock, consisting of quartz, feldspar, and mica, and usually of a whitish, grayish, or flesh-red color
plutonic igneous rock having visibly crystalline texture; generally composed of feldspar and mica and quartz
Highly felsic igneous plutonic rock, typically light in color; rough plutonic equivalent of rhyolite Granite is actually quite rare in the U S ; often the term is applied to any quartz-bearing plutonic rock
-A granular igneous rock composed chiefly of felspar (orthoclase) and quartz, usually with one or more other minerals, as mica, hornblende, etc
An igneous rock forming much of the Cairngorm mountains and other hills in Scotland Generally gray in colour and crystalline
a light coloured, coarse-grained, igneous rock
{i} hard course-grained rock
A pink-colored, felsic, plutonic rock that contains potassium and usually sodium feldspars, and has a quartz content of about 10% Granite is commonly found on continents but virtually absent from the ocean basins
Medium to coarse grained acidic igneous rock that is rich in quartz and potassium feldspar Derived from felsic magma
Quartz monzonite
A coarse-grained igneous rock composed of >20% quartz and feldspar
