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. |
