Weight of Granite

Is there anyone out there that can help me. I need to find the weight of
a cubic foot of granite. I know how to find the volume of the solids
I've used but I need a base to figure the weight of some granite work I
am designing/drafting.

Great site called matweb <>. Granite is listed at 0.0918 - 0.0961 lb/in³. This is a bit lighter, although in the range of 168 lb/cf. (actually 158.6 to 166.1)

Not all granite weight the same. I use to design things using Black Diabase
surface plates. Black Diabase weighed 190 Lb per cubic feet.
