The term "granite" is used to cover a
group of related stones, all of which have their origin deep in the earth's
molten mantle. As this extremely hot liquid material rises and cools, it forms a
crystalline, granular structure, hence the term granite. Granite and other
granite-like stones are formed of very hard minerals such as quarts, feldspar
and mica, which are fused together into a very hard stone ideal for kitchen
countertops because its polish is resistant to acids such as citrus and vinegar
and is hard for resisting scratching from knives, pots and pans.
Granite is commonly used for countertops as well as for floor
tiles, wall tiles, other surfaces such as fireplaces, columns, balustrades,
water tables, steps, thresholds & windowsills. It's much harder then marble and
can be used practicly for anything in your home or business.

countertop material. Every home magazine features natural stone over other
