Granite Vs Marbles

Granite  Marbles
Origin Formed by solidification and slow cooling of Magma deep within the earth over a period of millions of years. Formed by the transformation of sedimentary rocks due to intense heat and pressure. Marble originates as limestone and transforms into marble.
Category Igneous Rock Metamorphic Stone
Content Granite consists of mainly Feldspar and Quartz which are extremely hard minerals. Consists of Calcium Carbonate, which is relatively softer.
Appearance Flecking throughout the stone. Colorful veins that swirl through the stone
Strength and Durability Has a hardness of 6 – 7 on the Mohs scale. Compressive strength is ranging from 1050 to 1358 kg/cm2.  Resists scratches, damage from heat, and stain Has a hardness of 3 – 5 on the Mohs scale. Compressive strength is ranging from 827 to 1020 kg/cm2. It will suffer damage and can stain
Stain Resistance Inherent stain resisting properties virtually resists all stains from foods and liquids. The metamorphic attributes result in a more porous material. Some foods or liquids such as tomato sauce, wine, juice, lemons, and vinegar will absorb into marble and cause permanent staining.
Sealant Apply a fresh coat of sealant once a year or once in 3 years depending on the type of sealer used. Reseal marble at least twice each year.
Care Clean sealed granite counters regularly with plain soapy water to keep the surfaces clean and beautiful. Rinse away the soap completely. Marble surfaces require more careful cleaning to avoid damaging the porous stone. Use a cleaning product with neutral pH to avoid discolouring the marble. Do not use an abrasive cleanser, because you could dull the finish.
