granite is not very valuable but granite comes in different looks and if the color is rare it can be valuable. I wrote this right after I came back from a playground with some granite. I tried to find out what rock it was on the computer when I found a picture that matched. It said the rock that I have is granite. I looked in the computer more and came through a lot of facts that I am giving you right now. Unfortunately most granite is worthless.

Well, simply, they are the most abundant rock types, at least compositionally (in terms of mineralogical suites, silica content etc.). Granitic rocks are most common on continental crust (though not all are coarse grained like true Granites) and Basaltic rocks are most common on ocean crust.
