Did you know.......... Granite is a natural stone and has been used as a building material for many centuries. Granite is an igneous rock which means that it is formed by volcanic activity, which strength approaches that of diamonds.

Did you know..........Granite also contains natural fissures, fissures in granite are visible separations along inter-crystalline boundaries. These fissures may appear to be cracks but are not structural defects and will not affect the function or durability of the stone. These occur naturally and are considered to be a part of the natural beauty of the material. They are not considered flaws.

Did you know..........Granite is blasted from quarries in large blocks and then sliced like a loaf of bread to create bundles. The granite slabs in that bundle will match and mimic each other in directionality and color variation. Most slabs are rarely longer than 10 feet long.
