Natural granite is a strong, speckled stone with tiny flecks of different colors. It comes in shades like white, gray, black, pink, red, and even green. You can see small shiny or grainy spots in it, which are minerals like quartz and feldspar.
Granite can be shiny (polished), smooth but not shiny (honed), or slightly rough (leathered). No two pieces look exactly the same—each has its own unique pattern. People love using it for kitchen counters, floors, and walls because it’s both beautiful and tough.
