Granite

About

Granite is a type of igneous rock, made by the solidification of lava, with a granular and phaneritic texture. It crystallizes below Earth’s surface and the slow cooling allows large crystals (visible to the naked eye) to form. Usually, the colors are whites, pinks, or light grays and the color is uniform throughout the stone. If you see a stone of another color or with a wild pattern, it’s probably not granite.
