Where does granite slabbing come from?
Granite formation occurs when magma crystallizes slowly below the Earth’s surface. Granite comprises mainly natural quartz and feldspar with traces of amphiboles, mica, and other organic minerals. At their earliest stages, your granite countertops were just molten magma.
Granite stone is mined mainly in Donegal or Wicklow, where the largest deposits of granite stone have been found.
We’ve explored the elegance and durability that granite slabbing brings to any space. Choosing this natural stone ensures a timeless aesthetic coupled with a resilience that withstands the test of time. Whether transforming a patio or adding a touch of sophistication to indoor areas, granite slabs offer unparalleled natural beauty.
