Why are some stones so expensive?

+

Stone prices vary largely, and this is mostly to do with the location and size of the stone quarries. Remote or smaller quarries mean that they are harder to get to and harder to quarry which leads to a scarcity of product and surge in pricing. Other factors could be the mineral content in the stone and the cost of logistics in bringing the product to you.

Why is granite the most used stone type in kitchens?

+

Kitchen and bar counters are commonly exposed to liquids like water, milk, juices, wine or other alcohol, acidic substances like citrus vegetables, some fruits, acetic acid as well as sharp utensils, all of which can damage any countertop. However, Granite is one of the strongest and most dense stones in nature with high tolerance to heat and tension due to which it is resistant to etching, staining and absorption making it one of the top choices for use in kitchens and bars.
