What is "granite"?
Granite is a hard type of rock composed mainly of quartz, feldspar, and mica, formed from the slow crystallization of magma beneath the Earth's surface. Known for its strength, durability, and resistance to scratches and heat, granite is a popular choice in construction and design. It is commonly used for countertops, flooring, and tiles, as well as for monuments and buildings. Available in a wide range of colors and patterns, granite's natural beauty enhances the aesthetic appeal of various spaces.
