What is Granite?

  • Granite is a tough, durable rock composed primarily of three different minerals.

  • 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.

Important?

There are different quality levels of stone (granite); some have (A LOWER QUALITY) a higher level of impurities, such as iron ore, which can actually RUST, over time, and cause a stone to discolor!

Other lower quality stones can have large streaks or spots, and others can have small fissures (internal), which can show years later!

We DO NOT OFFER INFERIOR QUALITY. GUARANTEED!
