Granite

Vivant Stones

Granite is a coarse grained igneous rock which is formed from molten magma which is cooled slowly over thousands of years. Its make up consists of granite, feldspar and mica. The variation in each slab and especially the grain and movement in the crystal structure are part of the charm of buying a natural stone.


Limestone

Vivant Stones

Limestone is a sedimentary rock mainly composed of calcite. Limestone is formed through precipitation in warm, shallow seas and can often contain marine fossils. We purchase only the finest limestone, quality checking each slab as they arrive into the yard.


SandStone

Vivant Stones

Sandstones are clastic in origin. They are formed from cemented grains that may either be fragments of a pre-existing rock or be mono-mineral crystals. Quartz framework grains are the dominant minerals in most clastic sedimentary rocks. this is because they have exceptional physical properties, such as hardness and chemical stability.
