Natural
stone is unique in it creation each slab is different Granite:
A visibly granular, plutonic rock,
consisting chiefly of orthoclase and quartz with little quantities
of plagioclase, mica and other minerals. Granite is nearly always
massive (lacking internal structures), hard and tough, and
therefore it has gained widespread use as a construction stone.
The average density of granite is 2.75 g/cm3 and its
viscosity at standard temperature and pressure is ~4.5 • 1019
Pa·s [1]
. The word granite comes from the Latin granum, a grain, in
reference to the coarse-grained structure of such a crystalline
rock. |
