Granite is formed from the slow cooling of high silicate magma intrusions that have risen through the crust and formed large bulbous chambers of molten material called plutons. Plutons can take millions of years to cool and crystallize into granitic rock.

The fact is that the geochemical process of making granite are not fully understood. Many times different kinds of granite are created concurrently (like orbital granitiods) and it is not clear why or how. Obviously, the geochemistry of the materials is paramount. But the actual processes at the temperatures and pressures found within the earth cannot be replicated for any meaningful time in the laboratory - so we cannot be sure of the exact process of formation, only the result.
