Granite has been documented as a signature of earth. It was composed at the time of constitution of this planet. It was formed as a result of the slow cooling process of the liquid magma which is still found at the core of this planet. In comparison to other rocky planets like Mercury, Venus and Mars only Earth has got this beautiful type of rock in abundance.
Granite consists of strong mineral grains which hold together tightly. It consists of the minerals quartz and feldspar which give granite a light color ranging from pinkish to white and that color is punctuated with darker accessory of minerals which gives it a salt-pepper look.
It is an igneous rock,which means it is solidified from a fluid state called magma which gives it the property as that of lava.
