Why Choose Granite?
The classic choice for luxury kitchens
Heat Resistant
Naturally heat resistant, making it perfect for busy kitchens.
Unique Patterns
Every slab is a unique work of art from nature, no two are alike.
Extremely Durable
One of the hardest natural stones, resistant to scratches and chips.
Born from Fire, Forged by Time
Granite is an igneous rock, meaning it comes from fire. Specifically, it is a plutonic intrusive rock, formed from magma that cooled deep beneath the Earth's surface. This slow cooling process is the secret to its legendary strength.
Magma Formation
Deep within the Earth's crust (plutonic), molten rock accumulates rich in silica and minerals.
Slow Cooling
Unlike volcanic rock (lava), granite cools very slowly underground over millions of years.
Crystallization
This slow cooling allows individual mineral crystals (quartz, feldspar) to grow large and interlock, creating its visibly grainy texture.
Uplift & Exposure
Tectonic forces push the granite up to the surface, or erosion strips away the topsoil, revealing the stone.
From the World's Finest Quarries
We don't just sell stone; we curate a global collection. Understanding where your granite comes from tells you the story of its character.
Brazil
The Exotic CapitalHome to the world's most vibrant and exotic granites. Brazilian stones often feature dramatic movement, wild veining, and unique colors like blues, greens, and golds (e.g., Azul Bahia, Matrix).
India
Strength & DensityFamous for incredibly dense and consistent granites. Indian quarries produce some of the strongest blacks and most uniform patterns in the world (e.g., Absolute Black, Black Galaxy).
Italy
Refined EleganceWhile renowned for marble, Italy also quarries pristine granites. Italian processing factories are legendary for their polishing technology, resulting in superior finishes.
The Recipe of Strength
Granite isn't just one stone; it's a composite of several minerals that interlock like a 3D puzzle. This structure gives granite its unique color palette and structural integrity.
Feldspar
~50% CompositionProvides the primary color (pink, white, gray) and strength.
Quartz
~30% CompositionAdds glassy luster, hardness, and durability.
Mica
~10% CompositionCreates the metallic sparkle (biotite/muscovite).
Amphiboles
~10% CompositionAdds black speckled contrast (hornblende).
Mineral Composition
Hardness Scale (Mohs)
Granite scores a 6-7 on the Mohs Hardness Scale, making it significantly harder than marble and steel. This is why granite knives don't scratch granite countertops.
Performance Specs
Heat Resistance
Granite can withstand temperatures up to 1,200°F (650°C). You can place hot pots and pans directly on the surface without fear of melting or scorching, unlike quartz or laminate.
Porosity & Sealing
While slightly porous, modern granite is factory-sealed to be stain-resistant. Deluxe Art Stone applies a premium 15-year sealant upon installation, making it hydrophobic and easy to clean with just soap and water.
Lifespan ROI
A granite countertop can last 100+ years. It is the only countertop material that truly adds resale value to a home, often recovering 100% of its cost upon sale.
