Granite starts as a molten mass of magma and then forms into the rock granite as this magma cools over millions of years ago. The main minerals in true granite are silicates, feldspar, and quartz. The most important mineral is quartz, it's not granite without quartz.

Usually, the colors are whites, pinks, or light grays and the color is uniform throughout the stone. If you see a stone of another color or with a wild pattern, it’s probably not granite. Granite is a highly durable siliceous stone. 

Compared to marble, it is more resistant to the acids found in lemons, vinegar, and cleaning products which means most granites do not etch. This is an easy stone to live with and pretty forgiving too.
