Polished granite gravestone is the strongest kind of rock. It is not only hard in texture, but also not easily dissolved by water and not easily corroded by acid and alkali. In its area per square centimeter, it can withstand a pressure of more than 2,000 kilograms; in a few decades, weathering cannot have a significant impact on it.
The appearance of polished granite gravestone is quite beautiful, often showing light colors such as white, gray, yellow, rose, etc., dotted with black spots, beautiful and generous. Based on the above advantages, it becomes the best choice among building stone. The core stone of the Monument to the People's Heroes in front of Tiananmen Square in Beijing is made of a piece of granite specially transported from Laoshan, Shandong.
Why does polished granite gravestone have these characteristics?
Let’s check its ingredients first! Among the mineral particles that make up granite, more than 90% are feldspar and quartz, of which feldspar is the most. Feldspar is often white, gray, and flesh-red, and quartz is mostly colorless or off-white, which constitute the basic hue of granite. Both feldspar and quartz are hard minerals, and it is difficult to draw them with a steel knife. As for the dark spots in the granite, they are mainly biotite and some other minerals. Although biotite is relatively soft, its ability to resist pressure is not weak. At the same time, they account for very little weight in granite, often less than 10%. This is the material condition for granite to be particularly strong.
Another reason why polished granite gravestone is strong is that its mineral particles are tightly interlocked with each other, and the pores often account for less than 1% of the total volume of the rock. In this way, the granite has the ability to resist strong pressure and is not easy to be penetrated by water.
Although polished granite gravestone is very strong, but under the long-term effects of sunlight, air, water and living things, there will be a day of "rotten", do you believe it? A lot of the sand in the river is the quartz particles remaining after it is destroyed, and a lot of the widely distributed clay is the product of the weathering of the feldspar in the granite! However, it takes a long, long time. Therefore, from the perspective of human time, polished granite gravestone is quite strong. For example, the Great Pyramid of Egypt, whose exterior is made of polished granite gravestone, has been around for thousands of years. Although it has been damaged a bit, it is still quite durable compared to many other things.
