gneiss
If enough heat and pressure is applied (40000 to 60000 times atmospheric pressure and 900 to 1300 degrees Celsius), granite or any other allotrope of carbon can be turned into diamond.
When granite is subjected to high heat and pressure, it can change into a metamorphic rock known as gneiss. Gneiss typically exhibits a banded appearance due to the reorganization of minerals within the rock under these conditions.
When granite is subjected to heat and pressure, it undergoes a process called metamorphism and can transform into a metamorphic rock called gneiss. The mineral composition and texture of the granite change during this process, resulting in a foliated texture and alignment of minerals in the gneiss.
Rocks are formed when other rocks are subjected to intense pressure and heat through the process of metamorphism. This process can cause the original minerals and textures of the rock to change, resulting in the formation of metamorphic rocks such as marble, schist, and gneiss.
Heat and pressure create metamorphic rock. This type of rock forms when existing rocks are subjected to intense heat and pressure, causing their mineral composition and texture to change. Examples of metamorphic rocks include marble, slate, and schist.
Granite becomes metamorphic by being subjected to immense heat and pressure, turning into gneiss.

Granite does not turn into limestone. Granite is an igneous rock originating from volcanic activity. Limestone is a sedimentary rock laid down in the oceans millions of years ago. Limestone does turn into marble when subjected to huge pressures and heat. It is found areas with a lot of seismic activity like Itlay and Turkey.

Heat and pressure
When put under pressure, granite can change into a metamorphic rock called gneiss. Gneiss forms from the re-crystallization of granite under high temperatures and pressures, resulting in a distinctive banded appearance and different mineral composition.
When emplaced granite is subjected to pressures and temperatures from mountain building processes due to tectonic plate movements, the component minerals are essentially realigned perpendicularly to the direction of the stress.
