Its not granite.

In your image, the “translucent” appearance is coming from lighting passing through a thin edge of stone with a light-colored matrix. That behavior is typical of:
Calcite/alabaster (very common in Egypt)
Or sometimes fine limestone / travertine
Granite (quartz + feldspar + mica) does not transmit light like that, even in very thin sections. It stays opaque.

I know. What is the provenance of that image? How do we know it's not resin?

The government is so good at what it does.
It can get people to look wherever it wants whenever it wants.
8 billion people. Only God knows how many phones and other cameras are setup across the globe not to mention satellite imagery and not one clear ufo pic? No one clear big foot photo? Nothing.
Come on

On the other friends part I have never seen anyone throw someone out the door and use anything remotely close to a liquid, shampoo, shaving cream, beer, water, soap and whatever else was in that room to scrub himself
