Granite is an igneous rock that forms from the gradual crystallization of magma under the Earth's surface. It's mostly composed of Quartz, with some alkali feldspars, plagioclase feldspars, and other mineral impurities present during its formation. There's a solid reason why granite countertops are so popular among home improvement enthusiasts. It has a mineral hardness rating of 6 on the Mohs scale.
Granite may be found in a wide variety of colors and patterns, is resistant to stains and scratches, and is simple to clean and maintain. Granite counters are regarded as the most durable option for a kitchen's surface. Quartz and Granite counters are more sanitary than other manmade materials like butcher block, stainless steel, ceramic tile, and more. Granite countertops are a popular choice in the kitchen since they are incredibly durable and stain-resistant. However, regular sealing is necessary to close up its naturally porous surface.
