Granite is an igneous rock formed from magma, that can be found in many different types of colors, ranging from dark granite to light granite colors. It is a very hard and tough rock that can be found all over the Earth, in many different countries and places.
Granite comes from the Earth. It is mined from the ground all over the Earth at granite quarries.
Rock hidden beneath the surface is cut out and then polished -- granite rock transformed into beautiful granite slabs that can then be cut into granite countertops.
