This natural stone comes from all over the world, from quarries. These stone outcroppings are found through the efforts of Geologists. They are chucks of stone in the 30 to 40,000 pound range and must be broken into smaller units to remove them for the building trades. The explosive experts, heavy equipment and operators are what it takes just to get it out of the ground.

The very large pieces broken off of the massive piece is then trimmed down even further. The process that gets it from that massive chunk to a size that will fit in your home will often take months and, in some countries, years. Much of this time is spend in classifying them according to size, color, tone, grain patterns and getting them ready for sale.

This pattern could be straight lines, curly ones or swirling bursts of colors that can be unexpected. Grain is something that must be considered as it might be coarse and open or fine and tight. Both of these factors will need to be looked at as they can enhance the room in which it is installed.

The use of granite in a kitchen for food preparation is a good choice. Bathrooms need this as there can be bacteria passed on to other people if a sanitary surface cannot be achieved.
