List of types of granite

Hatshepsut made from Aswan granite (also called rose granite)

In this list only granites should be entered that were or are used economically as natural stone . For a better overview, the granodiorites , which are referred to as granite in their trade names, have been entered in this list and also classified in terms of geology (in brackets). In terms of their technical properties and use, the differences between granites and granodiorites are negligible.
