1 I-type Granites. 2  I-type granites are granites considered to have formed by melting of an original igneous type source. 3  These are generally metaluminous granites, expressed mineralogically by the absence of peraluminous minerals and the absence of peralkaline minerals, as discussed below. wide variety of igneous rocks occur in the continental lithosphere, a reflection of its heterogeneous nature compared to oceanic lithosphere. In addition, because the continents are not subducted and are subject to uplift and erosion, older plutonic rocks are both preserved and accessible to study.
Granite Tiles. Granite is an igneous rock, which means it was once molten and formed as it cooled deep within the earth. Minerals within granite typically appear as small flecks throughout the stone, once creating a salt and pepper look.Other types have veining similar to marble.Granite is a dense-grained, hard stone.It can be highly polished or finished in a variety of other ways. A broad spectrum of color is available.inerals within granite typically appear as small flecks throughout the stone, once creating a salt and pepper look. Other types have veining similar to marble.
