GRANITE HAS MANY DIFFERENT FACES

Granite is made up of many different types of crystals. The natural color of the stone will vary quite a bit giving each counter a uniqueness in rich & vibrant color. The most common colors include white, gray, black, pink, and orange. Since Granite is made up of crystals, your counter may have an interesting iridescent effect when viewed at different angles. 

Horneblend & Biotite, Feldspar, Mica & Quartz are some of the beautiful crystals that make up natural granite.
