If granite was in short supply and high demand do you think it would be as valuable as gold and why?

What disease does granite cause?
Granite is a source of radiation; radon gas can be released from granite if it is drilled into. It is possible that people living on granite could have a higher cancer risk, but I don't think any real proof has been shown to exist.
Is the radiation level in granite dangerous?
It is potentially dangerous. The radiation level found in granite is enough to suppress the immune system, cause birth defects, and cause cancer. There are granite composite options which are not containing the level of radiation that is dangerous.
Do granite counter tops give off radiation?
Granite does not give off radiation, though it may contain trace amounts of material which does. Any amount of radiation it releases should be insignificant (i.e. background radiation).
What kind of household items are made out of igneous rocks?
Granite counter tops
What is the maximum amount of plagioclase feldspar possible in a sample of granite?
65%. Any more, and it is not considered granite.
Is it possible for granite to have fossils or shells in it?

Major differences between Granite and Marble?
I had been in this stone line for 5 years, let me try conclude them in a short word: 1. hardness: granite is more stronger, so, it is could ues for outside, but marle not. 2. color: both are have lots of colors, but marble have more funs in veins and colors 3.radiation: marble have no radiation, but a few granite have. For some kinds of granites, the more darker color, more heavier the radiation is. 4.stability:granite is better
What type of rock is clemina granite?
'Clemina' granite may be a trade name associated with a decorative rock. Without a sample, identification would not be possible.
Is it possible for granite to transform into an igneous rock?
Granite already is an igenous rock, but it can melt and then re-solidify to form an igenous rock again. The new rock might not necessarily be granite, either if the melted granite erupts from a volcano or mixes with magma of a different composition.
What kind of igneous rock makes up most continental crust rocks?
