Granite

Granite is the most durable and densest of natural stones and virtually non-porous. It is extremely hard, heat resistant, repels water and most acidic liquids and it excellent for kitchen counters or any other area in your house. You can take dishes directly out of the oven and set them on a granite worktop with no worries, as it's not susceptible to cooking heat. Even though durable, most granites need to be sealed.
