Granite

Granite is formed by the gradual cooling and solidification of magma inside the earth's crust under high pressure. Minerals crystallize slowly to give granite its characteristic crystalline structure. Each granite stone varies in color, shading, texture and veining. It offers an unmatched value with its natural beauty, elegance, longevity and style. Each slab is unique; no two are the same, even if they are mined from the same quarry. Granite is highly scratch resistant and normal daily use will not adversely affect your top. Granite is heat resistant and can withstand the heat of cooking pots and pans without damage. Granite is composed of a variety of minerals, each of which has specific performance properties. The hardest mineral commonly found in granite is quartz. This is a somewhat translucent white/gray colored mineral that is responsible for the hardness of granite. When compared to other solid surfaces, granite offers a value that is unmatched.
