Granite
Granite is a common coarse-grained intrusive rock used for building and monuments due to its durability and aesthetic appeal. It is a popular choice for countertops, flooring, and architectural features thanks to its resistance to wear and weathering.
Intrusive rocks usually have a coarse-grained texture because they cool slowly beneath the Earth's surface, allowing for larger mineral crystals to form. As the molten rock cools at a slower rate, the minerals have more time to grow, resulting in a coarse-grained texture.
Intrusive igneous rocks are characterized by a coarse-grained texture because they cool slowly beneath the Earth's surface, allowing larger mineral crystals to form. This slow cooling process gives the minerals more time to grow, resulting in a coarse-grained appearance.
Not all of them are coarse grained, however, in general when magma is intruded into other rocks rather then being extruded onto the earth's surface and cooling in air or water, it cools down more slowly. This slow cooling allows time for crystals to grow and this makes the rocks coarse grained.
Extrusive rocks form from lava cooling on the Earth's surface, leading to rapid cooling and fine-grained texture. Intrusive rocks form from magma cooling beneath the surface, resulting in slower cooling and coarse-grained texture. This difference in cooling rates gives extrusive rocks their characteristic fine-grained appearance and intrusive rocks their coarse-grained appearance.

There are many. A great example, however, is Mt. Rushmore; the likenesses of the presidents are carved in granite, a coarse-grained intrusive igneous rock.

Granite is an intrusive type of igneous rock Also since it is intrusive it cools very slowly and forms large crystals and coarse (large) grained igneous rock.
