Granite is a geode mineral from ordinary Geodes and Omni Geodes. It is a cheap find, worth the same as Calcite and half as much as Alamite from the same geode. The first piece should go to the museum, where each new mineral brings Gunther's collection closer to its next reward. It also has one practical use: a Spook Fish Fish Pond can ask for a single Granite before it grows. Otherwise, spares are sold, sewn into a Shirt, or used for a gray dye.
The in-game description reads: A speckled Mineral that is commonly used in construction.
Location
Granite only comes from geodes. A plain Geode has roughly one chance in thirty-two of holding it. An Omni Geode can hold it as well, but it shares its odds with the minerals of every geode type, so each one is a weaker chance.
Rocks above ground drop plain Geodes, as do rocks in The Mines, mostly on floors 1 to 39. Duggies drop them too. They appear in Fishing Treasure Chests, and a full Stonefish Fish Pond can produce them. Breaking a Geode Node also gives one.
Clint at the Blacksmith opens each geode for 25g. A Geode Crusher does the same at home once Clint's Cave Patrol special order unlocks its recipe. The odds stay the same on lucky and unlucky days.
Prices
Granite sells for three times the cost of cracking its geode, which still leaves a profit. The Gemologist profession at Mining level 10 raises that by thirty percent, as with every gem and mineral.
A Crystalarium can copy Granite, but each copy takes about three and a half days. That earns only about 22g a day. An Earth Crystal from the same plain Geode earns about four times as much in the same machine, so Granite is a poor choice for a Crystalarium.
Uses
A Spook Fish Fish Pond can ask for one Granite to grow from five fish to seven. Granite is cheap and comes from common Geodes, so keeping a spare Granite in a chest makes the request easy whenever it comes up.
Donating the first Granite to Gunther adds it to the museum's mineral collection. Mineral donations unlock rewards at set totals. The opening rewards are pieces of furniture, the Standing Geode and the Singing Stone among them. The Crystal Chair follows at 41 minerals and a Crystalarium at 50.
Putting Granite and Cloth in the Sewing Machine makes a Shirt. Granite dyes a dyeable clothing item gray when the two share the spool.
Gifts
The Wizard likes Granite. Its low price makes it a sensible gift for him.
Abigail, Alex, Elliott, Emily, Haley, Harvey, Leah, Maru, Penny, Sam, Sebastian and Shane count Granite as a disliked gift. The Dwarf, Krobus and Sandy also dislike it. Clint, Gus, Marnie, Pierre, Robin and Willy dislike it too. The same goes for the children Jas, Leo and Vincent, and for the older residents Caroline, Demetrius, Evelyn, George, Jodi, Kent, Lewis, Linus and Pam.
From the second day of the game, rocks across the valley and in The Mines can drop Geodes, so Granite can reach the museum very early.
