Granite is intrusive rock that start out as molten masses deep within the earth. As the mass cools, the minerals forms into crystals of various size and shapes, depending on the conditions at the time. Large crystals are indicative of a slow cool down while small crystals are typical of a rapid cooling. Granite is typically made up of three minerals; quartz, feldspar and mica.

Granite stone is typically hardest of the dimensional stone and withstand the elements very well. Black Granite is best for kitchen counters since they resist scratching are stain and heat resistant. Granite tiles and granite slabs are also suitable for flooring or Paving, wall cladding, all other types of Counter tops and tombstones.
