This long period of cooling allows for crystallization to occur, which is why red granite \ud80c\udd53\ud80c\udf33\ud80c\udfcf\ud80c\udfb6 contains large (coarse), beautiful \ud80c\udd24\ud80c\udd91\ud80c\udc8b quartz \ud80c\udfe0\ud80c\ude16\ud80c\udfcc\ud80c\ude19 crystals! Quartz \ud80c\udfe0\ud80c\ude16\ud80c\udfcc\ud80c\ude19 is a very hard and durable mineral, which makes red granite \ud80c\udd53\ud80c\udf33\ud80c\udfcf\ud80c\udfb6 a strong rock \ud80c\uddcb\ud80c\ude16\ud80c\udc8b\ud80c\ude19.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">This strength has caused controversy and skepticism because \u201chow could the ancient Egyptians have quarried and moved so much granite?\u201d Well the answer is in the science! Tectonic forces move the granite \ud80c\udd53\ud80c\udf33\ud80c\udfcf\ud80c\udfb6 towards the surface and the release of that overlying pressure (called unloading) causes the granite to weather into blocks through fracturing and the creation of natural joints. All the ancient Egyptians had to do was find the right sized block for their projects and then ship it up the Nike!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The most common of the \u201cAswan Granite\u201d rocks \ud80c\uddcb\ud80c\ude16\ud80c\udc8b\ud80c\ude19\ud80c\udfe6 is known as red granite \ud80c\udd53\ud80c\udf33\ud80c\udfcf\ud80c\udfb6.
