Granite is an igneous (formed from fire) stone.  An igneous stone was once a molten flowing mass much like lava.  As it cooled it became very dense and hard.  In fact, granite is second only to diamonds in hardness.  Granite stands up well to heavy traffic which makes it ideal for commercial flooring.  Because it is resistant to blistering, scratching, cracking and scorching, granite is the number one choice in natural stone for kitchen counter tops.    Polished granite with it's high gloss reflects light beautifully adding elegance to any room.  The high gloss finish will not wear off.  Granite is easy to clean with just warm water and a soft cloth.
