Red granite is a type of igneous rock that is rich in potassium feldspar and displays a reddish or pinkish hue. It is a dense rock with a phaneritic texture and is found in many countries, including Brazil, China, India, Russia, and the United States.
It is a naturally formed stone that is durable, low maintenance, and can be used in a variety of ways. The most common uses are countertops, landscaping, tiles, and carved into decorative displays. Its popularity led to its status as the state rock of Wisconsin, where it was officially named in 1971.
