I certainly agree with that. something is planned in that way.

personally, I'd love something .. surreal/"strange". like a space station, or
perhaps that natty pre-war flatbed truck you used before, modelled in various
granites. :-)

Oh lol! That last one would be interesting! I shall see what I can do.
I was thinking, among other things, about the El Capitan half dome...

Note that granitic landscapes/formations look rather featureless as far
as textures are concerned. They have no/little internal layering, and
weathering is mostly 'rounding' the rocks.

had not heard of 'El Capitan' before. 900+ metres of sheer cliff, just .. wow.
cannot really imagine, but feel one would feel distinctly ant-sized standing at
its base. (America, huh? _everything_ is big in America! :-))

Closer to home (Europe) the cores of the Alps are granites. Bretagne,
Scandinavia and Scotland are also ancient mountain range cores were
granites are common.

in Aberdeen it's in the "moniker" - "granite city".

I didn't know that :-)
You may be interested, like others, now that we are concentrating on
granites (and other rocks) as used in monuments, by the following text I
came across on the web today:
https://www.ucl.ac.uk/earth-sciences/sites/earth-sciences/files/earth_sciences_geotrail_graveyard_geology.pdf
Very instructive reading indeed.

Attached a set of step noise patterned granites. Variations of the
turbulence value just changes the distribution of the different grains.
Most interesting is the use (1) of the turbulence within a warp{}
pattern and (2) the use of, especially, octaves, lambda, and omega
values. Thus, the two last renders on the bottom row, produce the best
granite pattern, imo.

Finally, using a blending technique developed by Tekno Frannansa, The
attached granite, based on the latest preceding one, looks also the most
natural!

For your judgment again.
A weathered, granite, boulder has been hit at and a piece broke off.
Inside: the latest version with warp {turbulence Turbulence octaves 2
lambda 1 omega 2}
Outside: the blurred/blended version of the above
