Natural Stone: Granite

Granite is a natural stone created from magma that has cooled beneath the earth's surface. It's available in a wide array of colors and textures, and it's harder than other natural stones, making granite countertops a popular choice. Granite tile is perfect for high-traffic areas. Courtesy of AKDO
