Granite doesn't come from a country - all countries have granite as it is one of the most common rock types on Earth. Granite is an igneous rock that is found in all continents around the world and is generally the foundation of many orogenic belts or mountain chains. On all continents, granite is the underlying rock upon which sedimentary and other continental rocks rest.

Granite is an igneous rock and is formed from magma. Granitic magma has many potential origins but it must intrude other rocks. Most granite intrusions are emplaced at depth within the crust, usually greater than 1.5 kilometres and up to 50 km depth within thick continental crust. The origin of granite is contentious and has led to varied schemes of classification. Classification schemes are regional; there is a French scheme, a British scheme and an American scheme. This confusion arises because the classification schemes define granite by different means. Generally the 'alphabet-soup' classification is used because it classifies based on genesis or origin of the magma.
