Fuck off. You can't just say things like that without telling the class what the difference is.
Edit: it looks like the right one has white specks and the left one doesn't? Can't tell if the white specks are actually there or just image compression or different lighting though.
You are right, my bad. :) One is granite and the other one is granodiorite.

"granodiorite" sounds exactly the kind of name someone who doesn't want to admit it's just granite would make up.
Minecraft taught me that diorite is also a stone, so maybe it's when the two kinds of stones are mixed together?
Good ol' grannies (granodiorite). They're important and diagnostic 'round these parts. Migrated down from Canadia we reckon.
