Granite vs. Marble

GRANITE is an igneous stone formed by the cooling of molten rock over 300 million years ago. It has been valued for thousands of years for its great durability, hardness and density. These qualities lend themselves to the stone being polished, a process widely used to enhance the appearance and natural beauty of granite.

MARBLE is a metamorphic rock resulting from the metamorphism of limestone, composed mostly of calcite (a crystalline form of calcium carbonate, CaCO3). It is extensively used for sculpture, as a building material, and in many other applications. The word 'marble' is colloquially used to refer to many other stones that are capable of taking a high polish.
