Granite Dining Table Collection

Why Choose a Granite Dining Table?

Out of all the materials we use for stone dining tables, granite leads the way for durability. In most cases this enhanced durability does not come with any sacrifice in the stones beauty. This is especially the case with the darker granites. The darker granites hold up especially well in a beauty contest with nearly every marble. It is only the classic white marbles where marbles beauty clearly outshines granite.

A luxury dining table in granite is an excellent choice if you desire to bring the highest degree of beauty to your dining area whilst eliminating the worry over spillages and heat damage from the placing of extremely hot dishes on the table top. In terms of beauty and durability combined no other natural material comes close to granite.

Granite's Geology

In terms of the decorative stone market you will also see several stones marketed as ‘granites’ when they are technically a dolerite, gabbro or syenite1. There is nothing wrong with this and it is mainly done for simplicity. These stones all share very similar properties to granite. Let’s look at the geological terms for these variations of granite.

These variations are Igneous rocks which are rocks formed when hot magma cools. Due to the relatively slow cooling process large crystals can be formed in the granite. A classic example of this can be seen in the large crystals present in the green Granite Emerald Pearl.

Most of the minerals of igneous rocks used for decorative purposes are siliceous. And these rocks tend to be hard and durable. This is the reason for granites being able to take an excellent polish. Igneous rocks can be divided between plutonic rocks and volcanic rocks.

The variations we are going to discuss below are plutonic rocks. Plutonic rocks form when molten rock cools and solidifies inside the crust of the Earth without ever erupting to the surface from a volcano. The crystals of different minerals are mixed together, giving the mottled appearance of granite.

Granite is the best known of the plutonic rocks. It is comprised of quartz, potassium, mica and plagioclase feldspars. It is also common to find hornblende2 in granite. Baltic Brown is an example of a true granite.

Syenite is a coarse grained intermediate plutonic rock. This is composed mainly of alkali feldspar with either minor quartz or feldspathoids (it must be one or the other, not both), plagioclase, biotite, hornblende and other dark minerals. If the stone has a large amount of nepheline it is categories as a nepheline syenite. The larvikite Blue Pearl is an example of syenite.

Gabbro is a coarse-grained basic plutonic rock. It is a mixture of plagioclase feldspar and augite with some magnetite. If you swap the augite for orthopyroxene you would have a norite. Both Star Galaxy and Nero Impala granites are examples of a gabbro.

Dolerite is a medium-grained basic plutonic rock. Just like gabbro it is a mixture of plagioclase feldspar and augite with some magnetite. The reason the grain size is smaller in a dolerite is because this rock is formed in intrusions and dikes3. The absolute black granite Nero Zimbabwe is an example of a dolerite.
