Granite is one of the most popular countertop materials that we carry here at SarpStones.com. Granite is abundant and can be found all over the globe. Granite is a naturally occurring rock formed under the Earth’s surface by liquid magma that cools and then solidifies. Granite is one of the toughest materials known to man and can be used for wide variety of projects because of its supreme durability. Granite is resistant to heat and scratches, which makes it great for any countertop project, especially for busy kitchens. Granite can be found in any color or pattern that you could imagine. Also since granite is a natural stone each and every project is completely unique because no slab will ever look the same as another. sarpstones.com receives shipments of new colors of granite every day from around the world. We have the largest selection that can be found in the United States for fabrication and installation.Limestone
Limestone is a sedimentary rock primarily composed of calcium carbonate. It is known for uniquely having ancient aquatic fossils embedded it as a result of being formed in clear, warm, shallow marine waters. There are many limestone–forming environments around Earth, such as the Caribbean Sea, Indian Ocean, Persian Gulf, Gulf of Mexico, around Pacific Ocean islands and within the Indonesian archipelago. Limestone is slightly softer and more porous than marble, so avoiding areas that experience a high traffic flow, particularly with acidic liquids, is best. Limestone will look fantastic as a bathroom vanity or bath surround because it provides a “beachy” look from impressions left on the stone by aquatic fossils and shells. It typically comes in natural colors such as grey, tan or brown and has a solid overall appearance. Its visual versatility makes it easy to accommodate any design scheme, which makes Limestone is especially perfect for renovations.
