What is a igneous rock used for building material?

Answer 1

Because they are so hard, Igneous rocks make useful road building materials. When sheets of igneous rock are cut and polished, they are used inside buildings such as banks and offices, and are also used as gravestones. There are different types of igneous rock, therefore each type has its own uses e.g:

Granite: Used for long lasting monuments, for trim and decoration on buildings.

Pumice: Because they are so light, it is used quite often as a decorative landscape stone. If grounded to a powder, it is used as an abrasive in polish compounds and in Lava soap.

Crystalline Igneous rocks can be used for jewelery and other similar things.

Answer 2

Igneous rocks may be used to manufacture tiles, countertops and as building ornamentation or in the construction of monuments or memorials, such as the Vietnam memorial in Washington D.C.

As described above, polished granites are very commonly used as ornamental or facing stones on buildings. However granite and other igneous rock are also used as armour stone or rip rap in sea defences, on embankment dams and in pier walls.

Igneous rocks are also used as a source material for aggregates.

Use of igneous rock intrusions or deeper level plutons is also being considered for the disposal of nuclear waste as certain types of granite (and other igneous bodies) tend to have very few if any discontinuities, meaning that they have extremely low permeabilities and so limit the potential for nuclear waste to leak into groundwater.
