Granite Colors

Granite is the most popular natural stone and countertop material due to it's versatility and superior performance characteristics.

In fact, granite was recently rated the top performing kitchen countertop material by a leading consumer magazine when compared with engineered stone (an excellent countertop material), butcher block, ceramic tile, stainless steel and other manufactured surfaces.

One of the hardest and strongest materials in nature, granite originated from the earth's core as liquid magma.Extreme heat and pressure forged the quartz, mica, feldspar and other minerals into a very dense structure millions of years ago. Over time, additional heat and pressure resulted in the myriad, fascinating combinations of color and pattern as well as the many outstanding qualities we know and love about a granite counter top.
