Greenwich Gray Thin Veneer** is a quarried natural granite veneer stone prized for its consistent **steel blue and gray tones**, enhanced by subtle **stripes of white and green** that add depth and character to masonry projects. This granite is sourced from Connecticut quarries, capturing the rugged beauty and enduring strength of New England’s native stone.
Granite is an **intrusive igneous rock** composed primarily of interlocking quartz, feldspar, and mica crystals, giving it a distinctive coarse-grained texture and remarkable durability. Its high silica content and dense mineral structure make it **very resistant to wear, scratching, and weathering**, with a **Mohs hardness typically between 6 and 7** and low porosity that helps prevent water absorption and freeze-thaw damage — ideal qualities for both interior and exterior masonry applications. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
