The basics: Granite is a natural stone, composed of at least 20 percent quartz as well as mica and feldspar. Colors choices span the rainbow, from a monochromatic slab to bold patterns. Countertop finish options include:Polished: The most common finish; it's mirror-like, stands up well to stains and is the least porousHoned: A matte finish that is typically not recommended, as it can stain and scratch more easilyBrushed/satin: Similar to a honed finish, though less matte in appearance and better performingLeather: More polished than a honed or matte finish, but with a little textureFlamed/thermal: Created by running a flame over the slab surface; has a rough, textured appearance and a varying surface depthAntique: Has a brushed, dull appearance that is slightly texturedCost: $50 to $100 or more per square foot installed.

Granite Kitchen CountersThere are plenty of reasons granite is so popular — this natural stone has plenty of character, with unique grains, colors and customizable finishes. When properly sealed, it's one of the most durable options out there. While it can cost as low as $50 per square foot installed, prices can go up quickly with more exotic slabs and difficult installations. Guide: Pros and cons of granite counters

Maintenance: The polished enamel surface is nonporous, making for a stain resistant and easy-to-clean sink. A thorough rinsing and wipe-down with a soft cloth is recommended after each use. Avoid abrasive cleaners and tools, which can dull or scratch the finish.
