Granites are igneous rocks crystallised progressively in the depths of the Earth.
They are a combination of several minerals :
(Quartz, Feldspars et Micas).
Their crystals are visible to the naked eye and therefore it is easy to recognise
particular granites.
This large clan includes stone that is sometimes used in monumental masonry e.g.
tombs and vaults, but most is used in decorative finishes of buildings, as
floor-paving, staircases and kitchen work-surfaces.
Its strength, great variety of colours, and natural beauty make it a very modern,
very sought-after material.
