Countertop Buying Guide: Granite

Granite is celebrated worldwide for its striking beauty and its remarkable durability. This natural stone consists mostly of quartz, which is famously hard, plus minerals and feldspar that create granite's unique veins, flecks, depth and natural luster.

Granite resists stains and scratches. It stands up to warm pans, water and wear. And it's available in a variety of colors, patterns and finishes, with each slab unique in all the world. Granite is perfect for countertops, accent islands, bar tops and more.
