What Rock Are You? · your result
You're Granite: The Foundation
The Foundation · Steady, dependable and quietly holding everything up.
You are the person people build on. Granite forms slowly from magma that cooled deep underground over millions of years, locking quartz, feldspar and mica into an interlocking mass that shrugs off weather, weight and time. That is you: unhurried, consistent and much stronger than you let on.
Friends describe you as the one who shows up. You do not need the spotlight; you would rather be the countertop everyone gathers around than the centerpiece on it. When plans fall apart, you are the one still standing, usually with a practical fix already in hand.
