What are Granite tiles?
Granite tiles are, quite literally, as old as the earth. They are formed from liquid magma, the molten rock still found at the core of the planet, which is pushed toward the surface to form a substance approaching the hardness and durability of diamond.Granite is an igneous rock, the name reflecting its fiery beginnings. The chemical composition of granite is similar to that of lava. However, granite owes its hardness and density to the fact that it has been solidified deep within the earth, under extreme pressure. Over the eons, seismic activity has changed the crust of the planet, forcing veins of granite to the surface. Glaciers scraped off layers of dirt, sand and rock to expose granite formations. Typically revealed by outcrops, these deposits have been discovered on every continent.
