Granite, which is crystalline in structure, always has miniscule pits. These are voids between the various mineral crystals. Granite will often have natural fissures as well. These are not cracks and are an inherent quality of granite. These characteristics are part of the natural beauty of stone and will not impair the structural integrity of the material.
