Granite
Granite is an igneous rock of volcanic and is composed of 30% quartz and 60% feldspar, which gives its high range of hardness, with superior abrasion resistant and compressive strength, granite is available in a wide range of colors.
Historically it used to be available only in a homogeneous grain, nowadays it is available in veined and patterned varieties.
Granite is an excellent material and external building use because of its hardness and resistant to all types of weather.
Marble
Marble is a metamorphic rock composed of recrystallized carbonate minerals, most commonly calcite or dolomite. Marble may be foliated. In geology the term "marble" refers to metamorphosed limestone, but its use in stonemasonry more broadly encompasses unmetamorphosed limestone.[1] Marble is commonly used for sculpture and as a building material.
Limestone
Limestone is a sedimentary rock, composed mainly of skeletal fragments of marine organisms such as coral, forams and molluscs. Its major materials are the minerals calcite and aragonite, which are different crystal forms of calcium carbonate (CaCO3).
About 10% of sedimentary rocks are limestones. The solubility of limestone in water and weak acid solutions leads to karst landscapes, in which water erodes the limestone over thousands to millions of years. Most cave systems are through limestone bedrock.
Finishing
A polished finish is created by refining the stone’s surface to the finest stage. It is buffed to the highest level possible, and the results are either of a high shine or the actual highest level of shine that can be achieved naturally. This finish gives the stone a very elegant and rich look, providing it with a pinnacle depth of colour.
