You are looking for a nicely hidden Ammo Can, please replace as
found. Oh yes, there is a fox den 133m away, please be quiet.
Here you wil find one of the best outgrops of Black Granite along
the Trans Labrador Highway. An attempt to quarry it was made in the
90's as evidenced by the drill holes and the two grubed out blocks
near the highway. If you want a great looking headstone chuck one
of them in the back of your vehicle and carry it to Quebec where
you can have it cut and polished. The Vietnam Memorial consists of
two 250 foot walls of Black Granite but I don't think you need to
go as big.
Granite is a common and widely occurring type of intrusive, felsic,
igneous rock. It has a medium to coarse texture, occasionally with
some individual crystals larger than the groundmass forming a rock
known as porphyry. Granites can be pink to dark gray or even black
as it is here, depending on their chemistry and mineralogy.
Outcrops of granite tend to form tors, and rounded massifs.
Granites sometimes occur in circular depressions surrounded by a
range of hills, formed by the metamorphic aureole or hornfels.Black
Granite looks great as a tomestone or memorial stone.
Granite is nearly always massive (lacking internal structures),
hard and tough, and therefore it has gained widespread use as a
construction stone. The average density of granite is 2.75 g/cm3
and its viscosity at standard temperature and pressure is ~4.5 .
1019 Pa·s [1] . The word granite comes from the Latin granum, a
grain, in reference to the coarse-grained structure of such a
crystalline rock.
