Granite is mined out of the ground in large blocks, usually up to 3metres long by about 1.5 metres square. These individual blocks are cut into multiple'slabs' of the requisite thickness, usually 20mm or 30mm thick, using a huge reciprocating arm attached to a series of blades. It's a bit like a bread slicer, only it takes a bit longer to cut through, usually about a week

What is the density of granite in the deepest mine?

The density of granite generally ranges from about 2.63 to 2.75 grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³). In the deepest mines, such as the Mponeng mine in South Africa, the granite's density may be slightly higher due to increased pressure and mineral composition. However, it typically remains within this range. Specific measurements can vary based on local geological conditions.
