Granite is the history
Granite is the history of human civilization.Natural stone has always been a crucial part of the material culture of the human race. Mankind faced the need to process stone as early as the beginning of its development
During the earliest cultural-historical period, the stone age (approx. from 800 to 5 thousand years BC) stone was the main material used to make tools (axes, hoes), weapons (arrow tips, spears), ornaments and attributes symbolizing the meaning of human life, dwellings and religious monuments. The great importance of stone for human life during the time of the primitive community gave the name of that age, the Paleolithic Age (from the Latin paleo old and lith stone), which started with the appearance of the first stone tools and ended with the discovery of copper during the Bronze Age.

Some building supply stores and tile shops carry marble tiles. Sometimes you can find recycled marble at salvage yards (a marble yard can repolish and recut older, worn pieces to look like new).
Granite colors
The granite look is beginning to appear in patented stone-like materials. Avonite, made from a modified polyester plastic, now has 14 so-called granite colors. Acrylic-based Corian, manufactured by Du Pont, has just been introduced in two new stone styles.
