Granite
The word granite comes from the Latin granum, a grain, in reference to the coarse-grained structure of such a crystalline rock. Granite is a common and widely occurring type of intrusive, felsic, igneous rock. Granites usually have a medium to coarse grained texture. Occasionally some individual crystals are larger than the groundmass in which case the texture is known as porphyritic. Granites can be pink to dark gray or even black, depending on their chemistry and mineralogy. Granites sometimes occur in circular depressions surrounded by a range of hills. Granite is nearly always massive, hard and tough, and therefore it has gained widespread use as a construction stone. The average density of granite is 2.75 g/cm3. Granite has been extensively used as a dimension stone and as flooring tiles in public and commercial buildings and monuments.

Marble
Marble is one of seven natural stones which have a massive demand in the world market. To the geologist, marble is a non-foliated, granular metamorphic rock that is formed by the metamorphism of limestone and dolostone. A number of minerals and gems can form in marble. Spinel from Vietnam, ruby and sapphire from Myanmar (formerly Burma) and lazulite from Afghanistan are just a few examples. Construction marble is a stone which is composed of calcite, dolomite or serpentine which is capable of taking a polish. With it's varied range of colours, textures and veining, marble is the ideal decorative material for fireplace hearths and back panels, vanity tops, walls and floors. Marble can be cut and polished in many different ways; with the latest CNC machine technology almost anything is possible, from a simple polished ogee edge to a 3 dimensional motif carved in the face.

Travertine
Travertine is a form of limestone deposited by mineral springs, especially hot springs. Travertine often has a fibrous or concentric appearance and exists in white, tan and cream-colored varieties. It is formed by a process of rapid precipitation of calcium carbonate, often at the mouth of a hot spring or in a limestone cave. It is frequently used in Italy and elsewhere as a building material. Travertine is a terrestrial sedimentary rock, formed by the precipitation of carbonate minerals from solution in ground and surface waters, and/or geothermally heated hot-springs.

Onyx
The name Onyx comes from the Greek word onyx means nail of a finger or claw. Legend says that one day while Venus was sleeping Eros/Cupid cut her fingernails and left the clippings scattered on the ground. Because no part of a heavenly body can die, the gods turned them into stone which later became known as onyx. Onyx is also mentioned in the Bible at various points, such as the priests' garments and the foundation of the city of Heaven in Revelation. Use of Sardonyx appears in the art of Minoan Crete, notably from the archaeological recoveries at Knossos. Onyx was used in Egypt as early as the Second Dynasty to make bowls and other pottery items.

Is marble more expensive than granite?

There is a wide range of prices for marbles, limestone and granites with a lot of overlap. Cost of stone is determined not by type of stone or the look. Cost is mostly determined but by availability of material from quarries, accessibility and shipping costs. As a guide, mid-ranged priced granite and marble are similar in price.
