It rarely occurs on the surface. When mined, drops cobblestone, which is the most common building material in the game. As of Alpha 1.3, it can be converted back to cobblestone by smelting it in a furnace There are no crafting recipes with granite. It is the most common naturally generated block in the game, since it can be found anywhere from the surface to bedrock.
