Summary

[edit]
Description

Little specific information about "Silver Galaxy Granite" from India is available. It has a foliated texture, so it is a metamorphic rock - it appears to be a gneiss. The dark red areas are very likely garnets. The matrix includes a sparkly component - likely mica.

I've seen this material attributed to Andhra Pradesh State (= southern Indian) and Rajasthan State (= northwestern India). Verified quarry location info. is lacking.
