Italian term or phrase: serizzo
salve a tutti, vorrei capire se c'è una termine inglese che corrisponde a "serizzo". Alcuni lo traducono "gneiss" altri "granite", altri ancora lo lasciano direttamente così.

Grazie

English translation:serizzo
Explanation:
"Il serizzo è una roccia ignea intrusiva simile al granito, di colore grigio scuro e grana uniforme"

Seems that "serizzo" is a "granito" but with particular features and that's why is better leave it Serizzo so it is clear what kind of granite it is.
