A highly-durable natural stone, granite is hard enough to resist abrasion, strong enough to bear significant weight, and inert enough to resist weathering. Some synthetic surfaces scratch easily. Granite, on the other hand, surpasses the hardness of utensils, including knife blades, that are used on it. It will resist scratches from ordinary kitchen preparations. Since it is naturally formed through the constant pressure deep within earth, granite can withstand the heat of hot pots and pans without absorbing damage.
