I've seen some granite shelving in my rack research - would love to see pics of yours. It's going to take a while, I'll be sure to post pics once I have the first one fabricated. I'm going out to some metal workers and millworkers to get mine built, so I'm not building it myself, just designing it.

The granite pieces are sink cut-outs from kitchen counter tops. They are (were?) generally throw-away pieces that were broken up and then a cost to dispose of. Think the granite emporiums have gotten smarter, so may have figured out uses for them. I had them polish all edges and use a layer of 3/16" thick Dynamat between the shelf and the wood. You can see the fore & aft stringer has been notched half the 3" height, which locks all the stringers together once the nuts are tightened. Total weight of the rack is ~400 pounds, so add the weight of the equipment and its not going anywhere. The all-thread rod makes adjusting shelves easy.

I'm pleased with what I'm hearing, so have looked no further than the Dynamat. Plus, the granite shelves add 'mass loading'. Using isolation platforms was another option should this have not worked out.

Looking forward to what you come up with. The ride to get there is often as much fun as the destination.
