The most distinguishing words for granite stone are impermeable, stoic, and lasting. Granite brings a more subtle but all-encompassing quality and solid beauty to any home despite its formative existence. From the emergence of Giza's pyramids and structures marking India's territories, granite became the very foundation stone to the early elegance of man's architecture and continues to gain prominence in any home. In the building of outdoor counter tops, kitchens and bathrooms, granite is widely used. The igneous rock of granular and phaneritic texture provides this coarse, robust stone with immediate demand for component resistance and extremely low maintenance durability. Quartz, mica, and feldspar are the three main elements fused to create the stalwart structure. The stone world traveler, granite instills in any home or commercial project a purposeful yet artistic appeal.
