Granite counter top is a rock resulting from metamorphism of sedimentary carbonate rocks, (most commonly limestone or dolomite rock). Metamorphism causes variable recrystallization of the original carbonate mineral grains.
The resulting Granite counter toprock is typically composed of an interlocking mosaic of carbonate crystals

Granite counter top is Primary sedimentary textures and structures of the original carbonate rock (protolith) that have typically been modified or destroyed.
Granite counter top which is Pure white marble is the result of metamorphism of a very pure (silicate-poor) limestone or dolomite protolith.
The characteristic swirls and veins of many colored marble varieties are usually due to various mineral impurities such as clay, silt, sand, iron oxides, or chert which were originally present as grains or layers in the limestone.
Green coloration is often due to serpentine resulting from originally high magnesium limestone or dolostone with silica impurities. These various impurities of Granite counter top have been mobilized and recrystallized by the intense pressure and heat of the metamorphism
