Granite surface might be radioactive itself.

Granite emits primarily Alpha radiation. This geiger counter does not sense alpha, so that's no whats causing the high count rate.

Do you know why the value increase and decrease so slowly? I mean they should jump from 20 to 2000 cpm in a couple of seconds, like the frequency of the LED, right?

1700 CPM. Not great, not terrible.

the check source on my cdv-700 is hotter than this, but from what I understand that's DU on some of those and radium on the others

It's not that radioactive at all. Won't do anything to you. I have similar to these for coleman gas mantle lamp, the radioactive ones burn way brighter.
