|
Why is there so much price variance on granite?
|
|
Granite is an igneous rock found around the world in different colors and patterns. Some granites have higher quartz contents making them more durable (and more expensive) while others are mined by hand in countries with lower labor rates. Rare colors, such as blues and reds, will often fetch a higher price than greens and golds. .

|
Is granite hard to care for?
|
|
Most granite styles are fairly easy to care for. If they have not had a permanent sealer applied at the factory, you should seal annually using a food safe counter top sealer.
