There's no proof that the Pilgrims even landed on Plymouth Rock, but the Rock does have a fascinating history. Plymouth Rock is an American icon, a symbol of intrepid discovery, liberty, and freedom of conscience. From anywhere in Plymouth, Massachusetts, road signs and residents guide you to Plymouth Rock on the waterfront. The stone itself is granite, probably from a formation known as the Dedham granite, formed 608 million years ago (give or take 17 million years)âthat is, a long time before 1620!
Granite is a plutonic rock in which quartz makes up between 10 and 50 percent of the felsic components and alkali feldspar accounts for 65 to 90 percent of the total feldspar content.ranite is composed mainly of quartz and feldspar with minor amounts of mica, amphiboles and other minerals. This mineral composition usually gives granite a red, pink, gray or white color with dark mineral grains visible throughout the rock. Granite is the best-known igneous rock.
