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.
