Granite /ˈɡrænᵻt/ is a common type of felsic intrusive igneous rock that is granular and phaneritic in texture. Granites can be predominantly white, pink, or gray in color, depending on their mineralogy. The word "granite" comes from the Latin granum, a grain, in reference to the coarse-grained structure of such a holocrystalline rock. By definition, granite is an igneous rock with at least 20% quartz and up to 65% alkali feldspar by volume.
The term "granitic" means granite-like and is applied to granite and a group of intrusive igneous rocks with similar textures and slight variations in composition and origin. These rocks mainly consist of feldspar, quartz, mica, and amphibole minerals, which form an interlocking, somewhat equigranular matrix of feldspar and quartz with scattered darker biotite mica and amphibole (often hornblende) peppering the lighter color minerals. Occasionally some individual crystals (phenocrysts) are larger than the groundmass, in which case the texture is known as porphyritic. A granitic rock with a porphyritic texture is known as a granite porphyry. Granitoid is a general, descriptive field term for lighter-colored, coarse-grained igneous rocks. Petrographic examination is required for identification of specific types of granitoids.
How It's Made is a documentary television series that premiered on January 6, 2001 on the Discovery Channel (now known as Discovery Science) in Canada, and Science in the United States. The program is produced in the Canadian province of Quebec by Productions MAJ, Inc. and Productions MAJ 2. In the United Kingdom, it is transmitted on Discovery Channel, Quest, and DMAX.
The show is a documentary showing how common, everyday items (including clothing and accessories like alligator handbags, foodstuffs like bubble gum, industrial products such as engines, musical instruments such as guitars, and sporting goods such as snowboards) are manufactured.
How It's Made is filmed without exploratory text to simplify overdubbing in different languages. For example, the show avoids showing a narrator or host onscreen, does not often have employees of featured companies speak on camera, and keeps human interaction with the manufacturing process to a bare minimum.
An off-screen narrator explains each process, often with humorous puns. Each half-hour show usually has three or four main segments, with each product getting a demonstration of approximately five minutes; exceptions are allowed in the allotted time for more complex products. Usually, every show has at least one product with a historic background note preceding it: Showing how and where the product originated, and what people used before it.

It used to be that granite and marble were the top of the heap when people considered new counter tops. Now quartz is the new leader. We found out why from Sunny.

Granite comes out of quarry, but how they make those granite slabs for your countertops? Here's how its made. Thanks to Discovery Channel for this very educational video.
It is well known that granite is a rock that occurs naturally and due to its chemical composition and mineralogy, it is available in a number of different colors. Granite is nothing but igneous in nature as it is formed during volcanic eruptions and is composed of 20% quartz. Before making use of granite, it is refined neatly by abrasion, buffering, calibration, sawning and honing. This enhances its aesthetic appeal. Usage: Today, granite has significant architectural importance as it is greatly being used in interiors for kitchen, counter tops, flooring and other stuffs. This is so because it is very durable and lasts for a lifetime. It has the capacity to bear heat and heavy loads and does not develop cracks with such exposure. Black granite is one of the varieties of granite and is bes...
How to cut granite slab kitchen counters with a circular saw and a diamond turbo rim blade. In this video I cut my granite kitchen counter to length with a skilsaw and 4" mini grinder. We also make the cutout for the sink. I'm using a frop in self rimming sink for this project rather than an undermount. My first cutting attempts were made using a continuous diamond wet / dry blade, but the plade quickly wore out.
Materials needed: Makita angle grinder with velocity regulation, white out pen, sink template, course #20 grit sander bit.

You can hide your eyes, you can dim the lights, but
they are watching!

And you’re the only one, ‘cos you’re up on defense.
This is a new way!
We are standing by, no time to hide, no meeting half
