Granite has a rating of 8 on the MOHS scale and diamonds are the only mineral that is harder then Granite.

Granite is classified as either fine-grained, medium grained, or coarse grained comes in a high polished look, flamed, honed, and tumbles looks that fit any decor or life style in this modern age.
Granites are made of quartz, feldspars and micas as well as trace minerals from a wide variety of other minerals. Granite’s made when molten lava or rock comes in to contact with a host rock and they are melted together. The color and size of the Granite crystals are determined somewhat by how fast the melted rocks cool down. The larger crystals are the result of slow cooling such as Verde Butterfly or Giallo Reale. Faster cooling results in smaller crystals and fine grained Granite such as Sierra White or Newport Sand. Granite has a great variety of colors and patterns because of the way the melted rock mixes with the host rocks which makes each color and pattern unique to each stone.
