Summary
[edit]Description"Antique Yellow Granite" (granite, ~500-650 Ma, Neoproterozoic to Cambrian; Espirito Santo State, Brazil) (14803164084).jpg |
"Antique Yellow Granite" - granite from the Precambrian-Cambrian of Brazil. "Granite" in the decorative stone trade is any relatively hard rock that will take a fine polish, regardless of mineralogy or chemistry or geologic origin. "Granites" turn out to be felsic to mafic intrusive igneous rocks (granite, granodiorite, porphyritic granite, rapakivi granite, orbicular granite, pegmatitic granite, graphic granite, anorthosite, monzonite, gabbro, norite, gabbronorite, dolerite, diabase, charnockite, etc.) and high-grade to very high-grade metamorphic rocks (metanorthosite, gneiss, metaconglomerate, amphibolite, quartzite, granulite, migmatite). True granites (= monzogranites & syenogranites & porphyritic varieties) make up most of the commercial granite trade. Countless varieties are quarried around the world. Antique Yellow Granite is a yellowish, Neoproterozoic-Cambrian (~650-500 million years) granite from Espirito Santo State, near the southeastern coast of Brazil. It has K-feldspar (yellowish & brownish), quartz (grayish), and biotite mica (black). |
