The mineral-rich colors of granite, the hardest and densest of the commercial stones and probably the most popular natural stone available today, makes it ideal inside or outside and in particular for use on kitchen countertops. A broad range of elegant patterns and colors makes granite the most versatile, durable and most maintenance-free of all stones.
Granite is an igneous rock formed by the crystallization of molten magma deep in the earth. Uplift and erosion over millions of years exposes granite at or near the surface of the earth where it is quarried in large blocks. Granites have a crystalline form with grains ranging from very small to several inches. Large crystals indicate a slower cooling process while small crystals form during rapid cooling. Granites are generally very hard making them highly resistant to scratches and their composition of mica and feldspar means they resist acid etching. Owing to its hardness, granites will achieve and maintain a highly polished, mirror finish. However a range of other finishes are available including honed, flamed and bush hammered.
The following gallery contains images of some of the granites we can provide. Please take a look and contact us if you'd like to know more about availability, slab size or have any other questions.
