Granite are formed from molten or partly molten material i. E. Magma, through solidification of magna. Lava is a form of magma cools and solidifies on the surface of the earth. Liquid magma cools and solidifies underneath the earth's surface, and then mineral gases and liquids penetrate the stone and create new crystalline formations and various colors.
Stones have different surface textures, according to their formation but these days, stones are fabricated to give desired surface textures. There are six main types of surfaces that are in use. The natural surface texture is achieved by ripping along its line of cleavage to reveal the natural grain & texture, which gives an undulating surface with great character. The surface comes with natural clefts giving a very natural look.
KOTAOTHERSTONES are layered rocks, formed through the accumulation and solidification of sediments, which may originally be made up of minerals, rock debris, or animal or vegetable matter. These stones come from such organic elements as glaciers, rivers, wind, oceans and plants. Tiny sedimentary pieces break off from these elements and accumulate to form rock beds. They are bonded through millions of years of heat and pressure and include limestone, sandstone and travertine.
Metamorphic stones are formed in some fashion from a pre-existing rock, through heat, pressure, the effect of superheated fluids, or any combination of these forces. The change can be a development of crystalline formation, a texture change or even a color change.Metamorphic is derived from the Greek word "meta" denoting a change and "morph" meaning form or a change in form. This changing of one rock type into another new type takes place by an increase in temperature or pressure or a combination of both.
