Yellow Granite
Granite is a plutonic rock made up essentially by quartz, feldspar and, normally, mica. It is the most abundant rock in the continental crust. By slowly solidifying at very high pressure, magma is produced with a high content of silica, the result of the fusion of the rocks formed by the continents, subjected to the heat of the mantle in their lower sections.
As this magma contains less magnesium than the continental crust, it has less specific weight and therefore it rises through the latter in characteristic structures in the shape of inverted drops which usually solidify before reaching the surface. For the rock to be formed to be granite it is necessary for it to slowly solidify at great pressure. The size of the feldspars is an indication of the speed of solidification and, the larger they are, the lower it is. These solidified structures appear on the surface due to the action of the erosion and are called batolites. On account of their great hardness, it is common for them to end up being the top of mountains which are distinguished by their typical rounded shape.
Within this tonality there are 3 models of Yellow Granite:
Amarillo Extremadura It is a granite with megacrystals of feldespático potassium.The typical color is due to his superficial character. It comes from the pluton of Araya’s Head.
Amarillo Jara Granite of megacrystals, used in restoration, exteriors and encimeras. Any type of finished is valid.
Amarillo Platino Granite extracted in the superficial part of Plasenzuela’s pluton, which gives him(her) the characteristic yellowish color.
