Granite started its journey to your kitchen over 4,000 million years ago when pressurised volcanic magma slowly cooled and set.
Generally only diamond is a naturally harder material than Granite, which is why Granite really is the natural material of choice for your kitchen worktops. Nothing else is harder wearing or as scratch resistant.
