Granite Composition, Properties, Types, & Uses Britannica
Granite, coarse- or medium-grained intrusive igneous rock that is rich in quartz and feldspar; it is the most common plutonic Alkali feldspar granite, some varieties of which are called 'red granite', is a felsic igneous rock and a type of granite rich in the mineral potassium feldspar (K-spar). It is a dense rock with a phaneritic texture. The abundance of K-spar gives the rock a predominant pink to reddish hue; peppered with minor amounts of black minerals. Alkali feldspar granite

In many cases, the grains are microscopic fragments of Limestone has a hardness of 2 to 3, is soft and can be scored by granite and limestone. The hardness of granite is about 8, and it can be carved out on the surface of basalt and limestone. Basalt has a hardness of 4 to 5 and cannot be scratched with granite. 3.different causes.

Amphibolite
Amphibolite from Cape Cod, Massachusetts Garnet bearing amphibolite from Val di Fleres, Italy. Amphibolite (/ æ m ˈ f ɪ b ə l aɪ t /) is a metamorphic rock that contains amphibole, especially hornblende and actinolite, as well as plagioclase feldspar, but with little or no quartz.It is typically dark-colored and dense, with a weakly foliated or schistose In the gold-bearing region of Northern Sonora, Mexico, the gold-veins are chiefly in or closely associated with granitic and plutonic rocks.

It occurs in many different colors such as white, pink, gray, red, yellow or black. Basalt. Basalt is a hard, black volcanic rock. Basalt is the most common rock type in the Earth's crust.Depending on how it is erupted, basalt can be hard and massive (Figure 1) or crumbly and full of bubbles (Figure 2). Slate.Igneous rocks are formed by the crystallisation of a magma. The difference between granites and basalts is in silica content and their rates of cooling. A basalt is about 53% SiO2, whereas granite is 73%.,slowly cooled inside the crust. (Plutonic rock = formed in the earth). Large crystals.Igneous Rocks Northern Arizona University

Feldspar Sandatlas
Feldspar is the most abundant mineral group in the Earth’s crust. There are more feldspars (60%) than all the other minerals combined in the outer (13-17) km of the crust 1. Feldspars occur in most igneous and metamorphic rocks. They are less common in sedimentary rocks as they tend to break down to clay minerals in the weathering environment.Examples of intrusive igneous rocks are: diabase, diorite, gabbro, granite, pegmatite, and peridotite. Extrusive igneous rocks erupt onto the surface, where they cool quickly to form small crystals. Some cool so quickly that they form an amorphous glass. These rocks include: andesite, basalt, dacite, obsidian, pumice, rhyolite, scoria, and tuffIgneous Rocks Pictures of Intrusive and Extrusive Rock Types

14 Types of Stones in building construction composition
On the basis of geological classification, stones or rock used in construction are igneous rocks (basalt, diorite, granite, rhyolite), sedimentary rocks (lime stone, sandstone, and dolomite), and metamorphic rocks (quartzite, marble, slate, and gneiss). Different types of stone in construction. Different factors such as compressive Acid: rocks with above 63% silica (mostly feldspar minerals and quartz), e.g. granite. Basic: rocks that are about 45 to 55% silica (mostly mafic minerals plus plagioclase feldspar and/or feldspathoid minerals), e.g. basalt.
