Granite & Marble:
Granite:
common and widely-occurring group of intrusive felsic igneous rocks that form at great depths and pressures under continents. Granite consists of orthoclase and plagioclase feldspars, quartz, hornblende, biotite, muscovite and minor accessory minerals such as magnetite, garnet, zircon and apatite. Rarely, a pyroxene is present. Ordinary granite always carries a small amount of plagioclase, but when this is absent the rock is referred to as alkali granite. An increasing proportion of plagioclase feldspar causes granite to pass into granodiorite. A rock consisting of equal proportions of orthoclase and plagioclase plus quartz may be considered a quartz monzonite. A granite containing both muscovite and biotite micas is called a binary granite. The average density is 2.75 g/cm3 with a range of 1.74 to 2.80.
The word granite comes from the Latin granum, a grain, in reference to the coarse-grained structure of such a crystalline rock.
Marble:
a type of metamorphic rock that is characterized by swirls of color from impurities and the ability to take a very high polish. This stone has been used for thousands of years in art and architecture, and it continues to be very popular today in applications ranging from garden paving stones to mantles. High quality marble is typically very costly, and many people associate the stone with luxurious design as a result.
A variety of metamorphic rocks including granite are sometimes called “marble,” but truemarble comes from either limestone or dolomite. As these sedimentary rocks undergo heat and pressure, they recrystallize, forming this type of stone. It often has no clearly discernible grain, and it is typically streaked with veins and clouds of impurity that vary widely in color. When cut into slabs, these impurities can create striking and fanciful designs.
Pure white marble comes from limestone with no impurities, and it has historically been highly prized. In many cultures, it is a sign of purity, and it has been associated with good fortune in education and finance, which is why many colleges and financial institutions have buildings which feature a lot of white marble. The rock can also be black, gray, pink, or green and it may be streaked with many variations of these colors.
