Silvestre granite is petrographically monzogranite, meaning it is a type of igneous rock that forms from the solidification of magma deep beneath the earth’s surface and has a slow cooling history.
Monzogranites are typically made up of quartz, feldspar, and mica minerals and are intermediate in composition between granites and monzonites. They are often found in mountain ranges and are used as building and decoration materials.
