1.Granite
Granite is a coarse-grained (phaneritic) intrusive igneous rock composed mostly of quartz, alkali feldspar, and plagioclase. It forms from magma with a high content of silica and alkali metal oxides that slowly cools and solidifies underground. It is common in the continental crust of Earth, where it is found in igneous intrusions. These range in size from dikes only a few centimeters across to batholiths exposed over hundreds of square kilometers.
Granite is typical of a larger family of granitic rocks, or granitoids, that are composed mostly of coarse-grained quartz and feldspars in varying proportions. These rocks are classified by the relative percentages of quartz, alkali feldspar, and plagioclase (the QAPF classification), with true granite representing granitic rocks rich in quartz and alkali feldspar. Most granitic rocks also contain mica or amphibole minerals, though a few (known as leucogranites) contain almost no dark minerals.
Thin section of granite
Granite is nearly always massive (lacking any internal structures), hard, and tough. These properties have made granite a widespread construction stone throughout human history.
1.Natural marble is a metamorphic stone. It is a rock composed of calcium magnesium carbonate, and it has naturally recrystallized due to pressure, heat, and aqueous solutions. It is a hard rock that changes colors when exposed to acidic substances.
Marbles are used principally for buildings and monuments, interior decoration, statuary, table tops, and novelties. Colour and appearance are their most important qualities.
Marble is easy to clean and maintain. Gentle soap and warm water are enough to get the job done. Cleaning a marble countertop is as simple as washing it down with a solution of water and soap, wiping with a wet, hot dish towel, and then drying the countertop with an absorbent towel.
Depending on the amount of and type of impurities in a given marble slab, it can range from white to various shades of grey or tan in most cases. However, marble can occur in various colors. The porosity of a particular stone can vary depending on the composition. Additionally, marble normally has a hardness ranging from 2 to 4 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness.
2.Artificial marble
Artificial marble is also one of economical marble products.
Among the artificial stones, the artificial marble is the cheapest and the most popular one, with many colors, like pure white, yellowish, redish and even multicolor.
1). Sizes:
One difference between natural marble and artificial marble is, there is almost no dimension limitation in artificial marble, while most natural marbles could not be in large slabs.
Sizes:3200x1600x20mm,2400x1600x20mm,2700x1600x18mm etc
2)
. Surface finishing
All artifical marbles are with polished surface, which is in uniform color, with no color variations. This is also a big difference from the natural marbles. So we don't have to worry about the different colors for the same project of diffferent times.

5.Slate
Slate is a fine-grained, foliated, homogeneous, metamorphic rock derived from an original shale-type sedimentary rock composed of clay or volcanic ash through low-grade, regional metamorphism. It is the finest-grained foliated metamorphic rock.Foliation may not correspond to the original sedimentary layering, but instead is in planes perpendicular to the direction of metamorphic compression.
The foliation in slate,is caused by strong compression in which fine-grained clay forms flakes to regrow in planes perpendicular to the compression. When expertly "cut" by striking parallel to the foliation with a specialized tool in the quarry, many slates display a property called fissility, forming smooth, flat sheets of stone which have long been used for roofing, floor tiles, and other purposes.Slate is frequently grey in color, especially when seen en masse covering roofs. However, slate occurs in a variety of colors even from a single locality; for example, slate from North Wales can be found in many shades of grey, from pale to dark, and may also be purple, green, or cyan. Slate is not to be confused with shale, from which it may be formed, or schist.
The word "slate" is also used for certain types of object made from slate rock. It may mean a single roofing tile made of slate, or a writing slate, which was traditionally a small, smooth piece of the rock, often framed in wood, used with chalk as a notepad or notice board, and especially for recording charges in pubs and inns. The phrases "clean slate" and "blank slate" come from this usage.
