Granite

 primarily contains milky white quartz and opaque white feldspar minerals. No white granite is perfectly white like man-made stones. Actually, if you see a countertop that is 100% white, be sure that it’s not granite but more likely quartz. White granite countertops are true works of art that will have many shades, veinings, and spots of different coloration. Most often, you will see an abundance of small black amphibole grains. 

 Black granite is actually gabbro rock, an igneous stone similar to basalt. It primarily contains plagioclase and pyroxene minerals. There are also amphibole and olivine minerals. However, black rocks have the same hardness and durability as all other granitic stones. When you find a black granite countertop that you like, its origin is most likely diabase, basalt, gabbro, norite, diorite, or anorthosite. 

 Brown & Gold granite countertops are super popular among homeowners and designers who love neutral and natural wooden kitchen cabinets. Tan brown granite will beautifully complement dark wood kitchen cabinets, while dark brown granite countertops look gorgeous when they go with light wooden cabinets.
