Granite () is a common widely occurring type of intrusive, felsic, igneous rock which is granular and crystalline in texture.

Granite differs from granodiorite in that at least 35 % of the feldspar in granite is alkali feldspar as opposed to plagioclase ; it is the alkali feldspar that gives many granites a distinctive pink color.

Granite is usually found in the continental plates of the Earth's crust.

Granite is nearly always massive ( lacking internal structures ), hard and tough, and therefore it has gained widespread use as a construction stone.

Granite is classified according to the QAPF diagram for coarse grained plutonic rocks and is named according to the percentage of quartz, alkali feldspar ( orthoclase, sanidine, or microcline ) and plagioclase feldspar on the A-Q-P half of the diagram.

Granite has poor primary permeability but strong secondary permeability.

Granite is currently known only on Earth, where it forms a major part of continental crust.

Granite often occurs as relatively small, less than 100 km² stock masses ( stocks ) and in batholiths that are often associated with orogenic mountain ranges.

Granite has been intruded into the crust of the Earth during all geologic periods, although much of it is of Precambrian age.

Granite is an igneous rock and is formed from magma.

Granite has a slow cooling process which forms larger crystals.

Granite is a natural source of radiation, like most natural stones.

Granite could be considered a potential natural radiological hazard as, for instance, villages located over granite may be susceptible to higher doses of radiation than other communities.
