Granite is the workhorse of natural stone: hard, heat-tolerant and genuinely unique, because no two slabs share the same mineral pattern. It is the material that built the reputation of stone countertops, and it remains one of the best values per square foot.
We source granite from 21 New England suppliers, which means you choose from hundreds of real slabs, not a laminate-style sample chip.

Granite questions
Yes, periodically. It takes minutes with a wipe-on sealer. Do the water-drop test: if water stops beading on the surface, it is time to reseal.
Brief contact with hot cookware will not damage granite, though trivets are still good practice to protect the sealer.
