This piece of Frosted Engraved Granite measures 12 inches x 6 inches and a thick 3/8ths inches in depth. The black, natural stone tile is polished with a smooth surface and a high sheen. It is unglazed and has a moderate variation in tone.
Granite is formed deep in the earth's mantle at extremely high temperatures, and is a very hard, resistant stone. It is an igneous, plutonic rock formed from cooled molten magma and consists of at least 10% visible quartz, feldspar, and small amounts of mica that can be black, platy and silver. Other minerals may be present in the stone creating its unique colors, textures and patterns.
Granite is a much harder, stronger stone comparing to let's say marble. It resists impacts and scratches better. They are both stone, which makes them hard, heavy, expensive and time consuming to work with. They are both natural products, which means there can be variations in color and pattern, and sometimes what you get delivered may be touch different than what you see in the display but as in nature all is most acceptable.
