This region has a tropical climate condition. ... reviewed the schemes that have been introduced for classification of granitic rocks, and they also discussed the common problematic areas of classification and description of …
Granite has a coarse-grained texture with large, interlocking crystals of translucent to off-white quartz, white to dark pink feldspar, and darker micas and amphiboles. Its crystals are roughly equal-sized and it is relatively light in color, lacking any structural features like layering, banding, or fossils. Granite.

Granite is a common example of a phaneritic igneous rock. This rock has large, visible crystals of minerals such as quartz, feldspar, and mica. Aphanitic: Fine-grained texture due to rapid cooling (typical of volcanic rocks). Basalt is a classic example of an aphanitic igneous rock.
Granite is nearly always massive (lacking internal structures), hard and tough. The word granite comes from the Latin granum, a grain, in reference to the coarse-grained structure of such a crystalline rock. Granite is highly durable, chip and scratch resistant, acid proof and hard material. In addition to this, Granite is easy to maintain.

The dissolution of atmospheric water along the tectonic fractures further improved the reservoir's physical properties during the nearly 30Ma exposure interval. Compared to granite rocks, mica quartz schist, with higher content of the femic mineral and lower content of feldspar, presents lower brittleness and less soluble minerals.
