Granite
Granite is a coarse grained, crystalline, igneous rock composed primarily of quartz and feldspar. It forms from slowly cooling magma (silicate melt) that is subjected to extreme pressures deep beneath the earth’s surface. Granite is a tough, durable rock composed primarily of three different minerals. These minerals are easy to see due to their different colors. The white mineral grains found in granite are feldspar. It is the most abundant mineral found in granite. The light gray, glass‐like grains are quartz, and the black, flake‐like grains are biotite or black mica.
Synthetic solid surface materials are no match for the richness, depth, and stellar performance of real Granite. Unlike laminates and solid‐surface materials, a hot frying pan has no effect on Granite’s mirror like finish. The diamond‐like hardness of Granite makes it virtually impervious to abrasions, stains, and extreme heat.
