The use of granite for house signs and kitchen tops is becoming more popular, but do you really know what granite is?
Granite is quite simply a type of very hard rock or stone, it is dug from the ground or blasted or cut from the side of mountains, this is called quarrying. The aim of the quarry is to produce large rectangular blocks, some of these blocks can be huge and weigh up to twenty tons! Try to imagine a block of stone 6 feet by 6 feet by 12 feet made of one of the hardest and most dense materials in nature.
