Granite is a mineral, and is not assigned status as a metal or nonmetal. The metal/nonmetal characteristic is usually assigned to a chemical element rather than to chemical compounds or, as is the case with granite, groups of these compounds.
There will be some metals in all granite. Though this mineral is largly made of silicon dioxide (SiO2), a number of metal compounds will be present in small amounts within the crystaline structure. Aluminum, potassium, sodium, iron and other metals, and even traces of uranium, can be found in granite.
Pumice is a nonmetallic mineral. It is a type of volcanic rock that is formed from the rapid cooling of frothy lava with high gas content, resulting in a lightweight and porous texture.
Sulfur is a bright yellow nonmetallic element often found near volcanic areas.
Diamond is not an element but a form of carbon, which is a nonmetallic element. Diamonds are made up of carbon atoms arranged in a crystal lattice structure, and they are prized for their hardness and brilliance.
Granite is an igneous rock.
One subtype of granite is pink granite, which contains pink minerals such as orthoclase, feldspar, and biotite. These minerals give the granite its distinct pink hue.
oil is nonmetallic

Calcite is nonmetallic in terms of its luster. It has a vitreous to pearly luster, which is characteristic of nonmetallic minerals.
I think its nonmetallic as it is glass
Granite doesn't contain economically viable concentrations of metals like iron, copper, or aluminum. The extraction process would be too costly and inefficient compared to mining ores that are rich in these metals. Moreover, most of the metals found in granite are tightly bound within the rock's mineral structure and are difficult to extract.
what are two uses of nonmetallic mineral resources
There are no "nonmetallic metals", all metals are metallic by definition.
the nonmetallic elaments are on the right side of the periodic table
Yes you could say hornblrnde has a non-metallic luster, shiny flecked, very dark green or brown rock that doesn't break evenly. You know the shiyk flecks you see in granite tombstones and other random mountain boulders. that's hornblende!
Francium has the least nonmetallic character among the elements. It is an alkali metal in group 1 of the periodic table, and its properties are more metallic than nonmetallic elements.
Nonmetallic atoms have Neutral charge not a Negative charge.
