I was recommend it as light reinforcement for driveway slab. It's fibreous throughout the mix and helps it hold together and reduces cracks in future as the concrete contracts more evenly as it cures. I found you could move and place it easier than a mix without. Can confirm it's tougher to get through with a concrete blade but slow abs steady still wins the race
To make it less permeable you need to coat on a sealant, I'll be looking at using siloxene but you can't get acrylic based sealants

Granite would be the best from your list because it is the hardest and most non porous of the stones. If you were going to build a foundation out of that today I'd use type S mortar and make sure to use a bitumen or rubber or some kind of water proofing on the exterior to keep out water and chlorides. I have an old house with a 250yr stone foundation made of field stone, some of it granite. Standing very well today.

Correct. Much of Aberdeen is built on granite, earning it the name Granite City. Just make sure to have sufficient ventilation as the granite is radioactive and Granite City has a major cancer problem that the government is suppressing.

>adding glass fiber
Glass fiber can be too smooth. Try basalt fiber instead.

Sandstone for landscaping shit if it's locally available, nothing else unless you live in a desert with 0% humidity
Granite for structural parts - Footers, water tables, foundations, stoneblock walls.
Limestone for facing, features, and carvings
Quartzite for countertops
Slate for tiles of either the floor or roof variety
Gravel for the 8 billion different uses gravel has
