What is Granite?
Granite is the best known of the plutonic rocks1. Plutonic rocks form when molten rock cools and solidifies inside the crust of the Earth without ever erupting to the surface from a volcano. The crystals of different minerals are mixed together, giving the mottled appearance of granite. And because of the relatively slow cooling time of granite the crystals can grow to be large in size. A classic example of a granite containing large crystals is the Norwegian material Blue Pearl2.
