Marble Vs Granite countertops

• Marble and granite countertops are two options
  that you can consider for your kitchen. They lie
  on different ends of the price and quality
  spectrum but both are equally good.
• Here are some of the differences between marble
  and granite countertops that you should be aware
  of before you buy one for your kitchen.

Formation
Marble and granite both are natural stone
materials and are porous in nature. Marble is
formed due to the crystallization of carbon.
Limestone when subjected to pressure and heat
gives marble. Granite is an igneous rock with a
composition of quartz, feldspar, mica and similar
materials.

Appearance

• Granite contains grains that appear as specks in
  varying colors. A granite slab can contain
  different hues such as blue, green, orange, pink,
  red, etc.
• The patterns are larger in marble. The color is
  consistent with vein-like pattern running through
  the surface. They both offer a luxurious appeal
  to the kitchen.

Hardness and Durability

• Granite is harder than marble and is more
  resistant to chips and scratches. Both are heat
  resistant, but you must be cautious while using
  hot pots and pans in the kitchen.
• They are durable but need to be properly sealed.
  They are porous and if they are not sealed well,
  liquid penetration will cause stains.

Maintenance

• Granite requires moderate maintenance in
  comparison to solid surface, quartz, glass or
  ceramic tile.
• Marble needs moderate to high maintenance. You
  have to ensure that it is sealed and avoid acidic
  materials. You need to wipe off the stains as
  quickly as possible.

Price
Marble countertop cost is more than the granite
slab prices. The cost of marble is from Rs. 30 to
Rs. 500 per square feet while the price of
granite varies from Rs. 100 to Rs. 500 per square
feet. You can select as per your budget and if
you are going to customize then it will cost you
slightly more.
