Granite is igneous rock and is the hardest stone. The origin of the word granite is derived from the Latin, meaning "grian". Granite is natural rock, comprised of 3 minerals called mica, feldspar and quartz. It is formed in a grainy manner by the crystallization of magma within the crust of the earth. Granite is famous for its Strength and Hardness. Building materials made from granite have a reputation for being virtually indestructible. That is why granite pavers can provide a long-term solution for anyone who wants their pavement to last for many decades. Granite is resistant to the long-term effects of weathering; aging and can withstand cold environments.
