A rock is usually made up of different types of minerals, each with specific properties that react differently to weathering and erosion. Over time, the most resistant minerals tend to form raised features on the rock's surface.
Similar to granite, granodiorite is rich in plagioclase. Used by the ancient Egyptians, it withstands erosion well thanks to its hard minerals, creating surfaces sculpted by time.
