Granite
 
Granite is one of the most popular stone - a crystalline rock with a granular structure. The name of granite itself comes from the Latin word "granum", which means "grain". The granite deposits are found all over the world - in France, Italy, Germany, Norway, Spain, etc. Each deposit and its characteristic climatic conditions affect the appearance of granite, so each type of this stone is unique. Granite deposits are also found in the depths of Latvia, but at a depth of about 1 km. The nearest neighbor, whose granite is observed on the ground level, is Finland, where huge rocky massifs are formed from this stone.
 
Granite is widely used in construction and interior design. This stone is suitable for decoration of interior and exterior - building facades, stairs, floors, walls, kitchen worktops, fireplaces, bathrooms. Granite is used on various objects - on the streets, in confining structures, fountain structures, columns, environmental objects, granite paving stones are widely used.

A significant weakness of granite is cold to the touch. Granite belongs to the category of cold stones, its surface is cool always. If you have chosen a granite floor for your home, then it is advisable to install a heating system under it. It should also be taken into account that the polished granite surface becomes slippery when it covers by wet.
