It is still today the most popular materials used in the design of Memorials. Monuments of Granite still exist dating back to before the time of Christ. Although very hard its texture lends itself to polishing, bringing out a genuine beauty which will not fade. Due to the hardness and very high polish it is particularly suitable for Sandblast and Hand Engraved ornamentation.
