Granite \Gran"ite\ (gr[a^]n"[i^]t), n. [It. granito granite,
adj., grainy, p. p. of granire to make grainy, fr. L. granum
grain; cf. F. granit. See {Grain}.] (Geol.)
A crystalline, granular rock, consisting of quartz, feldspar,
and mica, and usually of a whitish, grayish, or flesh-red
color. It differs from gneiss in not having the mica in
planes, and therefore in being destitute of a schistose
structure.

Note: Varieties containing hornblende are common. See also
the {Note} under {Mica}.

{Gneissoid granite}, granite in which the mica has traces of
a regular arrangement.

{Graphic granite}, granite consisting of quartz and feldspar
without mica, and having the quartz crystals so arranged
in the transverse section like oriental characters.

{Porphyritic granite}, granite containing feldspar in
distinct crystals.

{Hornblende granite}, or

{Syenitic granite}, granite containing hornblende as well as
mica, or, according to some authorities hornblende
replacing the mica.

{Granite ware}.
(a) A kind of stoneware.
(b) A Kind of ironware, coated with an enamel resembling
granite.

Syenite \Sy"e*nite\, n. [L. Syenites (sc. lapis), from Syene,
Gr. ?.] (Min.)
(a) Orig., a rock composed of quartz, hornblende, and
feldspar, anciently quarried at Syene, in Upper Egypt,
and now called {granite}.
(b) A granular, crystalline, ingeous rock composed of
orthoclase and hornblende, the latter often replaced or
accompanied by pyroxene or mica. Syenite sometimes
contains nephelite (el[ae]olite) or leucite, and is then
called {nephelite (el[ae]olite) syenite} or {leucite
syenite}.
