Today's countertop geology was brought to you by friends in Queensland. They have the most lovely granite table on their verandah and the fed me delicious Canadian breakfast foods while I took these photos.
This granite has been sheared and the phenocrysts are surrounded by almost sigma-shaped matrix. The picture below shows a grain that is probably at right angles to shear direction and as such hasn't rotated like some of the others.
