Granites
Granite is a holo-crystalline quartz-bearing plutonic rock, which falls into 3 categories:.
Biotite-granite:
Includes quartz, plagioclase, biotite and K-feldspar.
Hornblende-granite:
Also called Syenitic granite, contains hornblende as well as mica.
Tourmaline-granite:
Composed mainly of Tourmaline, this variety of granite exhibits a
wide range
of colors and is very rarely available as white or colorless variety.
Biotite-granite is most prevalent and forms a very suitable building stone for
durability and decoration. These rocks, by reason of their massive nature and
homogeneous grain, are eminently adapted for monumental and architectural work
Their wide range in appearance and colours renders the stones highly ornamental
and effective for a lasting memorial.
