The Durability of Granite<\/h2>\n

Granite<\/a> is a stone most of us have heard about, regardless of your design preferences. If you see a countertop that appears to be stone, it is almost automatic to wonder if it is granite because it is so commonly used. However, this was not always the case: granite has been used throughout history and was once a status symbol\u2014used to honor pharaohs and gods.
