Granite is one of the most abundant and durable building stones that is formed by the gradual cooling of molten materials. Its structure is mainly composed of quartz and feldspar crystals. The dimensions of these crystals are visible to the naked eye. The density of this type of stone is 2.75 grams per cubic centimeter.

Granite is found abundantly throughout the world and has a variety of colors depending on the minerals that make it up. In Iran, granite stones are mostly scattered on the surface in the form of colored crystals and have formed sturdy stones.

Due to its lack of porosity, granite is an ideal option for building facades in cold and windy areas like Yazd and Vakilabad, preventing water from seeping in and preventing it from cracking due to the cold weather. The only downside to granite is its low adhesion to mortar and cement, making it impossible to connect without special clips. This can increase the risk of stones falling off.

Granite is one of the most popular stones for kitchen counters and islands worldwide. It is highly resistant to heat, scratches, and impacts, and has very little water absorption, making it ideal for small water-prone areas.
