What Is a Fissure. Granite is an igneous rock, which means it was created from hot lava flow from a volcano. Fissures are thin, nonstructural cracks that occur during the formation process of the granite.When two separate streams of molten lava or magma intersect, they can leave behind a small separation between them.ome types of granite like Absolute Black, which is a classification of stone known as a gabbro, rarely develop fissures, because the material making up the stone is extremely dense. Some types of granite, however, containing the mineral serpentine are extremely prone to fissures.

A skin fissure is a cutaneous condition in which there is a linear-like cleavage of skin, sometimes defined as extending into the dermis. It is smaller than a skin laceration. A skin area on which there are many skin fissures is called cracked skin, and is most commonly a result of skin dryness.
