Granite is a natural stone found in quarries that occur naturally in the Earth. Granite slabs are removed from quarries, taken to a stone fabrication facility, and then cut and polished to perfection. Because granite is a natural stone, it’s slightly porous and therefore needs to be “sealed” regularly. With Granite being a natural stone, it has unique, random patterns and veins that cannot be mimicked. The distinctive veins and patterns on a piece of granite are unique to that specific stone and you’ll never get two granite counters that are exactly the same.
