Describing granite or granitic rocks that have well-formed, properly developed crystal structures with visible mineral grains.
From Greek 'eu-' (well, true) + 'granitic' (from 'granum' grain, referring to the granular texture of granite). Named to describe granite rocks with ideal crystal development.
Eugranitic granites are the poster children of geological beauty—they form when magma cools slowly underground, giving crystals plenty of time to grow large and colorful, which is why granite countertops are so gorgeous and expensive!
