Granite ([pronˈɡrænᵻt]) is a common type of felsic intrusive igneous rock that is granular and phaneritic in texture. Strictly speaking, granite is an igneous rock with between 20 % and 60 % quartz by volume, and at least 35 % of the total feldspar consisting of alkali feldspar, although commonly the term "granite" is used to refer to a wider range of coarse grained igneous rocks containing quartz and feldspar. Granite is nearly always massive (lacking any internal structures), hard and tough, and therefore it has gained widespread use throughout human history, and more recently as a construction stone. The average density of granite is between 2.65 and 2.75 g/cm3 (165.4 - 171.7 lb/ft3), its compressive strength usually lies above 200 MPa, and its viscosity near STP is 3 - 6 • 1019 Pa · s. Granite has poor primary permeability, but strong secondary permeability.
Granite is a liquid.
