Granite and marble. How are they different?

Marble is a metamorphic rock. It was once limestone, but over
time, the combination of intense heat and pressure caused the
limestone to re-crystallize. Foreign substances often entered
the stone during this process, creating an infinite variety of
colors, asters, and veining. Marble is a lot like snowflakes, no
two pieces are exactly alike.

Granite is a igneous rock, which means that at one time during
its development, it was melted like volcanic lava. Unlike lava,
however, this melted (or molten) rock never reached the
surface. It remained trapped inside, where it slowly cooled and
crystallized, resulting in a very uniform, speckled stone that
ranges in color from black and gray tones to pinks, browns, and
reds.

Can I cut on my granite countertops?

The only thing that will cut into or scratch granite is diamond or another
piece of granite. You can rest assured that common kitchen knives and
utensils are no match for the absolute hardness of a granite top. So
don't worry about slicing on the countertop the only thing that can
happen is you'll dull your knives.

Can I set a hot pot on my granite countertops?

Granite is formed by extreme heat and pressure combined beneath the
earths crust. It can not be affected by heat from a cook top or frying
pan. A lit flame placed under the granite will have no melting effect and
will not leave any burned or scarred marks.
