Large grains, and crystals
Granite
granite
Granite is formed from magma that cools slowly, deep below the earth's surface. Very coarse-grained granite, called pegmatite, is formed when the magma cools extremely slowly. Most granite is hard grained
Fine grains of rocks are referred to as "clasts." The word "clast" comes from the Greek word "klastos," meaning "broken."
No. They are usually fine grained.No, lava rocks do not have large grains they have very small grains.

Yes. The grains can be microscopic, as in sandstone, or quite large, as in granite.

Granite does not have rounded grains but contains interlocking grains. An example of a rock with rounded grains is a sandstone.

Granite is actually coarse grained and not fine grained. It is coarse grained because it came from the component of the continental crust.
No. Granite does not have gaps between the grains. The crystals in an intrusive igneous rock are interlocking.
Granite is an intrusive igneous rock with large grains (minerals) easily seen by the naked eye. Granite colours are most commonly pink, white, variations of grey and black.
