Granite

Granite is a block of igneous rock, found in large pockets in the ground.

Polished granite is the polished version of granite.

Natural generation
Granite can generate in the Overworld in the form of ores.

$$, granite attempts to generate in two batches in all biomes in the Overworld. The first batch generate 2 times per chunk in ores of size 0-862, from elevations 0 to 60. The second batch has 1⁄6 chance to generate ores of size 0-862, from elevation 64 to 128. Granite can replace stone, andesite, and diorite. $$, granite only attempts to generate twice per chunk, however, the ores are size 0-862. Granite can replace stone, diorite, andesite, tuff, and deepslate.

Granite generates in desert village armorer houses.

Granite can also generate as a part of coral reefs.

Polished granite generates in some ocean ruins.

Granite also generate as part of large copper ore veins.

Breaking
Granite can be mined using any pickaxe. If mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.

Trading
Journeyman-level stone mason villagers have a $2/7$ chance to sell 4 polished granite for one emerald as part of their trades.

Usage
Granite is currently used only for decoration. It has the same blast resistance as stone, meaning it can be used as a substitute for stone when building.

Trading
Journeyman-level stone mason villagers have $2/7$ of a chance to buy 16 granite for an emerald.

Note Blocks
Granite and polished granite can be placed under note blocks to produce "bass drum" sounds.

Trivia

 * Granite rock comes from underground magma pockets that turned cold. It's often pinkish in color because of its alkali feldspar minerals.
 * Diorite is another magma-pocket rock, but it has less quartz in it. Adding Nether quartz to diorite yields granite blocks.
