This wasn’t textbook geology; it was visceral. That day, I stopped seeing basalt rock as just “aggregate” or “igneous material.” It became…

What is Granite? Granite, a light-colored igneous rock, develops deep beneath mountains or volcanoes as molten rock slowly cools and crystallizes into solid material. The ore stone contains mostly quartz and feldspar, with smaller amounts of mica, hornblende, and other…
