However, the shape of the individual grains can vary. While some might be subhedral (with some well-defined crystal faces), most are anhedral, meaning they lack well-defined faces.
Here's a breakdown:
* Equigranular: All grains are approximately the same size.
* Phaneritic: Grains are large enough to be seen with the naked eye.
* Subhedral: Grains have some well-defined crystal faces.
* Anhedral: Grains lack well-defined crystal faces.
So, while granite's grain shape can be somewhat variable, it's typically a combination of anhedral and subhedral grains that are equigranular and visible to the naked eye.
