Welp! We finally have rock vaporization values readily available to us: https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Estimated-Energy-to-Vaporize-Rocks_tbl1_279809817
While the 25.7 kJ/cm³ value in the table is already in use for the Rock Generalization we have, we get the following values for vaporization for the following rocks:
Granite: 25.7 to 28.4 kJ/cm³ (Average: 27050 J/cm³; currently in use)
Basalt: 24.7 to 27.5 kJ/cm³ (Average: 26100 J/cm³; missing)
Sandstone: 18.7 to 19.9 kJ/cm³ (Average: 19300 J/cm³; missing)
Limestone: 30.9 to 33.4 kJ/cm³ (Average: 32150 J/cm³; missing)
Temperatures at which these rocks vaporize are also listed. In granite's case, we can replace the ? in our table with the temperature range listed on the table.
I think we should get the missing values in there plus link the table in question as a citation. So yeah, there you have it.
