Granite

We are talking about one of the oldest types of natural rock used over time to build impressive construction projects.
Granite is a massive light-colored magma rock, that contains granules large enough to be observed and, why not, even admired with your eyes. It is formed as a result of the slow crystallization of the magma under the Earth’s surface, consisting mainly of quartz, feldspar and other minerals. Due to its composition, granite has a wide range of colors, including pink, red, gray and yellow, with dark mineral grains visible on the entire surface.
