Granite is a natural igneous rock formed deep within the Earth under extreme heat and pressure over millions of years. It is composed primarily of quartz, feldspar, and mica, which give it its strength, durability, and unique patterns of veining and color variation. Because it is cut directly from natural stone slabs, no two granite countertops are exactly alike, making it a popular choice for homeowners seeking a one-of-a-kind surface.
