1. Magmatic rocks and granitic metamorphic rocks containing a small amount of mica and dark minerals, such as granite, diabase, gabbro, basalt, peridotite, etc. From the aspect of appearance characteristics, the granite is often in a uniform granular structure, called granite structure. Natural granite is an igneous rock, also known as acidic crystalline plutonic rock. It is a widely distributed rock in the igneous rock. It is hard stone, composed of feldspar, quartz and mica. Its composition is mainly silicon dioxide, accounting for about 60% - 75%. The rock is hard and dense, and can be divided into "pegmatite", "coarse crystal" and "fine crystal" according to its crystal particle size.

2. The quality of granite depends on its mineral composition and structure. Granite with good quality, fine and uniform crystal particles, less mica content and more quartz, and no pyrite. Granite is not prone to weathering and deterioration, and its appearance color can be maintained for more than 100 years, so it is mainly used for wall foundation and exterior wall decoration. Because of its high hardness and wear resistance, granite is also commonly used in advanced building decoration projects.

3. Characteristics of granite: Granite has dense structure, high strength, high density, extremely low water absorption, hard texture, wear-resistant, and belongs to acid hard stone. Compared with other stones, granite tiles are more durable, and can be well waterproof and moisture-proof, with high density. In addition, the price is moderate, so granite stone is one of the building materials sold on the market. When selecting granite tiles, we must pay attention to the quality and not be greedy. Different kinds of granite can be selected according to the decoration style.

When choosing stones for a driveway, it is important to consider both function and aesthetic appeal. Some of the most popular options include gravel, cobblestones, and natural stone pavers.
