Granite
Granite is 100% natural stone with a dense structure that took millions of years to form in nature. Granite is formed by crystallization of lava in the earth. This natural stone is found and mined in different parts of the world and it is interesting to note that granite in one specific region is slightly different from granite in another region both in terms of its structure and color range. Granite stands out primarily for its unique pattern, but also for its strength and durability. Granite tolerates temperature fluctuations well and is therefore suitable for use both indoors and outdoors. Granite is the most widely used natural stone in the world.
Granite is a popular natural stone for making kitchen countertops as well as for finishing fireplace mantels, fireplaces, and barbecue corners. Due to its resistance to cold, granite is an ideal choice for an outdoor kitchen countertop. Dark-colored granites are better suited for outdoor kitchen countertops as light colors tend to get dirty more easily
