Description

Material Introduction:

Granite is a natural stone formed deep within the Earth’s crust through the slow cooling and solidification of molten magma. This process, which can take millions of years, results in a dense and durable rock that has been treasured for centuries for its beauty and strength.

Granite is primarily composed of quartz, feldspar, and mica, along with trace amounts of other minerals. These components contribute to its unique appearance, with quartz adding brightness, feldspar providing a spectrum of colors, and mica creating shimmering specks that enhance its visual appeal.

The texture of granite is coarse-grained, with its individual mineral crystals clearly visible to the naked eye. This natural stone often showcases intricate patterns, including swirls, veins, and speckles, making each slab one-of-a-kind. The colors of granite vary widely, ranging from classic whites and grays to rich reds, blues, and blacks, depending on its mineral composition.
