  Granite 
  

  

  Under 
  the 
  strict 
  use 
  of 
  the 
  word, 
  granite 
  is 
  an 
  entirely 
  crystalUne 
  

   igneous 
  rock 
  made 
  up 
  of 
  potash 
  feldspar 
  and 
  quartz, 
  with 
  usually 
  

   small 
  amounts 
  of 
  either 
  mica, 
  hornblende 
  or 
  pyroxene. 
  Among 
  

   quarrymen 
  and 
  builders, 
  however, 
  the 
  name 
  granite 
  is 
  given 
  to 
  

   various 
  other 
  types 
  of 
  rocks, 
  such 
  as 
  the 
  heavier 
  and 
  darker 
  colored 
  

   diorites, 
  norites 
  and 
  gabbros, 
  S3^enite 
  which 
  resembles 
  granite 
  but 
  

   lacks 
  quartz, 
  and 
  the 
  bedded 
  or 
  banded 
  rock 
  known 
  as 
  gneiss 
  or 
  

   schist. 
  The 
  broader 
  use 
  of 
  the 
  term 
  will 
  be 
  employed 
  in 
  this 
  dis- 
  

   cussion. 
  

  

  Two 
  main 
  areas 
  of 
  extensive 
  outcrops 
  of 
  granitic 
  or 
  gneissic 
  

   rocks 
  can 
  be 
  recognized 
  : 
  the 
  Adirondack 
  region 
  and 
  the 
  area 
  com- 
  

   prising 
  the 
  Highlands 
  of 
  the 
  Hudson. 
  The 
  Adirondack 
  mountains 
  

   are 
  made 
  up 
  of 
  large 
  masses 
  of 
  crystalline 
  rocks, 
  anorthosites, 
  

   norites, 
  gneisses 
  and 
  granites, 
  and 
  around 
  the 
  borders 
  of 
  this 
  mass 
  

   many 
  quarries 
  have 
  been 
  opened. 
  At 
  present 
  there 
  are 
  but 
  few 
  

   active 
  quarries 
  which 
  are 
  located 
  as 
  follows 
  : 
  West 
  Chazy, 
  Clinton 
  

   CO. 
  ; 
  Ausable 
  Forks, 
  Essex 
  co. 
  ; 
  Gloversville,
