Word granite comes from the Latin
granum, a grain, is an igneous rock and is formed from magma.
Granite is massive, hard and tough, and therefore it has gained
widespread use as a construction stone. Granite has been
extensively used as a dimension stone and as flooring tiles in
public and commercial buildings and monuments. Polished granite is
also a popular choice for kitchen countertops due to its high
durability and aesthetic qualities. It comes in many natural
colors depending on their chemistry and mineralogy. |
