What is Granite?
Granite is an igneous rock. This means that at one time during its development it was melted like volcanic lava. Unlike lava, however, this molten (or molted) rock never reached the surface. It remained trapped inside the earth where it slowly cooled and crystallized. This crystallization resulted in a very uniform, speckled stone that ranges in color from black and gray tones to pinks, browns, reds, greens and whites.
Where Does Granite Come From?
Granite is quarried throughout the world in the form of huge blocks, some weighing up to 60 tons. These blocks are cut into slabs that are generally 3/4" or 1 1/4" thick, and the faces are polished to the specified finish. The slabs are then carefully crated and shipped to the fabricators who will process the slabs into the final product.
