Temperature to melt granite.
Such melting can take place at a temperature much below the melting temperature of the mineral.
According to our unpublished study of mi in quartz of the malkhany pegmatite such b rich.
This video is aheating melting and vitrification of granite by the halogen point heater.
Temperatures in rocks containing haplogranite components but is a result of melt forming reactions as temperature and possibly pressure increases white et al.
The melting temperature 164 c of sassolite in mi in these hambergite crystals gives a h 3 bo 3 concentration of 79 6 g g corresponding to 13 9 g g b and enrichment by a factor of 9 3 10 3 against the content of normal granite with 15 ppm b.
Fractional crystallisation serves to reduce a melt in iron magnesium titanium calcium and sodium and enrich the melt in potassium and silicon alkali feldspar rich in potassium and quartz sio2 are two of the defining constituents of granite.
It is strongly reduced in the presence of water down to 650 c at a few kbar pressure.
Granite will not melt even from direct flame applied to it.

6 granite has poor primary permeability overall but strong secondary permeability through cracks and fractures if they are present.
2003 and refs therein.
The melting temperature of dry granite at ambient pressure is 1215 1260 c 2219 2300 f.
Granite melts at around 3100 f.

Please note the fact that melting point of granite is 2210 o to 2300 o f 1210 o to 1260 o celsius whereas you cook your steak at around 350 o to 450 o f 177 o to 232 o celsius.
