The essential minerals are Quartz, Felspar and Mica.
Accessory minerals may alsobe present but all the three above must be present for the rock to be a granite.
Well let me think..... aw yes its.....(suspense)........ROCK
The hardest mineral in granite is typically quartz, which has a Mohs hardness of 7. Quartz is harder than the other common minerals in granite, such as feldspar and mica. This hardness contributes to the overall durability and strength of granite as a natural stone.
Granite is a rock, not a mineral, gem, or ore. It is a type of igneous rock formed from the cooling and solidification of magma beneath the Earth's surface.
Granite is a mineral, and is not assigned status as a metal or nonmetal. The metal/nonmetal characteristic is usually assigned to a chemical element rather than to chemical compounds or, as is the case with granite, groups of these compounds.There will be some metals in all granite. Though this mineral is largly made of silicon dioxide (SiO2), a number of metal compounds will be present in small amounts within the crystaline structure. Aluminum, potassium, sodium, iron and other metals, and even traces of uranium, can be found in granite.

No, granite is not an ore mineral. Ores are the rock form of certain metals.
Granite has feldspar, quartz, biotite.
Granite is an igneous rock with visible mineral crystals.

Granite is very resistant to fracture because of its interlocking mineral crystal structure.
Granite is actually made of mineral grains that are stuck together and solidified. It appears that the name "granite" comes from the based word "grain".
