Granite Slabs - Color: Black

Granite is a common, hard, intrusive igneous rock composed primarily of quartz and feldspar, along with mica and other minerals. It forms from the slow cooling of magma deep beneath the Earth's surface, resulting in a characteristic coarse-grained, crystalline texture. Its high durability and varied colors, ranging from pink to gray, make it widely used in construction, countertops, and monuments.

Formation and Texture
Igneous Rock:
Granite is an intrusive or plutonic igneous rock, meaning it solidified from molten magma deep within the Earth's crust.
Coarse-Grained:
The slow cooling process allowed large, interlocking mineral crystals to form, giving granite its distinctive "grainy" appearance.
Minerals:
Its main components are quartz (usually glassy and clear to light gray) and feldspar (often pinkish or white). It also contains smaller amounts of dark minerals like mica (biotite or muscovite) and amphiboles (hornblende).
Key Properties
Hardness: High quartz content makes granite very hard and resistant to scratches.
Durability: It is extremely durable, resisting pressure and weathering, which ensures its longevity.
Low Porosity: Granite absorbs very little liquid, making it resistant to stains.
Varied Colors: The proportions of its constituent minerals give granite a wide range of colors, including white, gray, pink, and red.
