Definition
Plural of granite; multiple samples or types of the igneous rock composed of feldspar, quartz, and mica.
Etymology
From 'granite,' which entered English from Italian 'granito' (speckled or grainy), derived from Latin 'granum' (grain), describing the rock's granular appearance.
Kelly Says
Granite is one of the most common rocks in Earth's continental crust, and it forms the peaks of mountains and the cores of continents—basically the skeleton of our planet!
