What Is The Formation of Egyptian Granite Slabs?

Egyptian granite is an igneous rock composed of mica, feldspar, and quartz. It is formed over millions of years in a sophisticated process as when rocks melt deep within the Earth's mantle and come to the surface through fissures, the magma is created. Then mineralogical materials including mica, feldspar, and quartz crystallize because the magma cools. The lava cools to form plutons; these plutons become visible at the surface due to erosion over time, making mining and quarrying possible.
