:-) we have quite a few names for it, depending on quality and other 
things. The granite around where I live is not the best quality. Some 
they use for cobblestones, some they crush up to gravel of various 
grades, some they use for building material and sculptures. It was an 
economic asset at one time. Remind me ... I'll go out to one of the 
quarries and take some pictures. It has been unused for over 50 years 
now, but a lot was left just they way it was and you can see how the 
"harvested" the stone. The stonecutters were highly specialized.
