1) Suitable for many household and commercial applications, granite can help to beautify floors, walls, fireplaces, countertops and more. Characterized by distinct crystals of Feldspar, Mica and Quartz, granite is an extremely durable and scratch-resistant stone.
2) Granite is an igneous rock and is formed from magma. Granite magma has many potential origins but it must intrude other rocks. Most granite intrusions are emplaced at depth within the crust, usually greater than 1.5 kilometres and up to 50 km depth within thick continental crust.
3) Fine, medium and coarse igneous rock, composed of quartz, feldspar, and mica with accessory minerals. Colors range from pinks, reds, grays, blues, greens, tans, browns, blacks and every color and shade between.
