						having a flooring material which literally took ages to create! Formed deep in 
						the earth, granite is the end result of tremendous heat and pressure applied 
						over thousands of years. Granite is an igneous rock that is described as 
						"intrusive". That is, granite is formed when liquid magma is forced between 
						other layers of rock, where it eventually cools and forms a layer of its own. 
						Here, it is fused with elements such as quartz, feldspar and mica among other 
						trace elements. The cooling process is slow, the new layer of rock being 
						shielded by the layers above and below where the molten magma had been forced. 
						The mineral elements which have become suspended in the cooling magma define 
						the crystalline appearance of this unique natural stone. Due to its harsh 
						origins and the lengthy process that suspends so many stabilizing elements
