Due to its many beneficial characteristics, quartz monzonite is sometimes utilized as a building stone. ... Quartz monzonite is a granitic rock that is primarily composed of quartz, plagioclase feldspar, and orthoclase feldspar. Other minerals, such as biotite and hornblende, are also typically present in small amounts.
