What you may not know
No two slabs of granite exist that are exactly the same (even those coming from the exact same quarry). Each slab is made up of many different types of crystals resulting in a variation of colors depending on the minerals found in the pieces of stone. The arrangement of colors and patterns found produce a one-of-a-kind piece for your particular countertop.
The Unbeatable Choice
Granite is an unbeatable choice for your kitchen countertop because of its long-lasting strength and durability. The hard substance resists the most dramatic occurrences for scratches and high temperature damage. Granite is so strong that cutting on the surface would ruin your knife before harming your countertop.

To Be Aware
Countertops made of granite require regular sealing every so often in order to keep the stain resistance and prevent absorption of liquids. It is important to stay cautious of acids such as wine or lemon juice for countertops of quartzite, belonging in the granite family, that can create etch marks or dull spots. When cleaning granite countertops, it is vital to refrain from using harsh cleansers and steer toward cleaning with a soft cloth, warm water and a mild cleanser such as everyday dish soap.
Making the Decision
A little TLC and love of having your own unique countertop makes granite the unquestionable choice. If well treated, granite tops will last a lifetime. If you prefer a more low- or no-maintenance surface, granite may not be the best option for you. Though sealing is an easy job, it must be completed annually for best, lasting results. For a product requiring no sealing, look into a quartz surface, such as ColorQuartz.
