GRANIT

Granite (granum - grain) is an igneous plutonic rock of acid composition of normal alkalinity from the family of granites. Consists of quartz, plagioclase, potassium feldspar and micas.

Granite is a widespread rock found on all continents of our planet.

A large granite deposit is located in Ukraine. The Ukrainian crystal shield stretches across the entire territory of the country, from the northwest to the southeast. The width of its part, directly exposed to the surface, is 200 km, and the length is about 1000 km. It is on this strip that the main deposits of decorative stone are concentrated.
