Granite is a coarse grained crystalline igneous rock composed primarily of
quartz and feldspar. It forms from slowly cooling magma (silicate melt) that
is subjected to extreme pressures deep beneath the earth's surface.
With public awareness increasingly turning to the use of natural materials
in the home, Granite has become the countertop of choice for today's kitchen
designer. Synthetic solid surface materials are no match for the richness,
depth, and stellar performance of real granite. Unlike laminates and
solid-surface materials, a hot frying pan has no effect on granite's mirror
like finish. The diamond-like hardness of granite makes it virtually impervious
to abrasions, stains, and extreme heat.
