Granite:

Granite, popularly known as Rustenburg is an an igneous rock formed from molten lava that has cooled and solidified over millions of years. This makes it exceptionally hard and resistant to weathering and erosion.

Finished options: Rustenburg can be polished to a high gloss or left with a more natural, matte finish, depending on your preference.

Maintenance: Rustenburg Stone is low-maintenance and can withstand harsh weather conditions, including rain, snow, and extreme temperatures.

Marble:

Elegance: Marble is a metamorphic rock formed from limestone subjected to intense heat and pressure. It is known for its classic beauty and smooth texture.

Aesthetic Appeal:Marble typically comes in shades of white, gray, and blue, with intricate veining that adds to its visual appeal.

Carvability: The smooth surface of marble is ideal for detailed carvings and inscriptions, allowing for intricate designs and personalization1.

Maintenance: Marble is softer and more porous than granite, making it more susceptible to weathering and staining. It may require regular cleaning and sealing to maintain its appearance.
