Granite is an igneous rock formed under the surface of the earth at great temperatures, granite is actually the signature rock of the continents, more than that it is the signature rock of the planet earth its self. The other rocky planets that surround our planet earth – Mercury, Venus & Mars are covered with basalt, as is the ocean floor on earth. But only earth has this beautiful and interesting rock type in abundance.

Once granite is quarried, cut, polished, & sealed it is nearly impervious to scratches, heat, etching, staining, or weathering. It is truly one of Mother Nature's most versatile and beautiful creations. Granite is unique in the sense that it is a natural stone and is quarried throughout the world.
