    Granite contains carbonates of calcium and magnesium. As you know carbonates are decomposed to carbon dioxide when added with acids. Lime juice contains citric acid which decomposes carbonates and forms calcium citrate which appears white. source: http://www.adichemadi.com/articles/inorganic/carbonates/part%203.html#limejuice
