This stone internationally may be nominated as a granite however in the area of application of the European Standard (EN) this stone must be nominated as a gneiss.

A fine-grained, grey-white to nearly white gneiss (paragneiss) of the Precambrian period.

Gneiss: A common and widely distributed type of rock formed by high-grade regional metamorphic processes from preexisting formations that were originally either igneous or sedimentary rocks. Gneissic rocks are coarsely foliated and largely recrystallized but do not carry large quantities of micas, chlorite or other platy minerals. Gneisses that are metamorphosed igneous rocks or their equivalent are termed granite gneisses, diorite gneisses, etc.
