Karnataka is endowed with rich varieties of granite resources.
Approximately one hundred varieties of rocks are available in Karnataka.
Granites with pleasing textures and colours apart from attractive gneisses,
migmatites, sober dyke rocks are abundantly available. The peninsular gneisses,
closepet granites and younger granite intrusions are main sources of ornamental
stones in Karnataka. The pink migmatic granite and grey granite of peninsular
origin are attractive and widely used. Pink propheries and pink granites of
closepet groups add to the varieties of granite with their enchanting look.
