What is the coldest out of granite marble and stone?
That depends on the ambient temperature, among other things. If you have two lumps of stone in the same place, one of granite and the other of marble, they will eventually be of the exact same temperature.However, marble tends to feel cooler to the touch, but that also depends on how polished it is. Basically, something feels cooler if it drains heat from your fingers (or feet) faster than another material. The more a surface is polished, the more contact area it will have with your skin, and the faster the exchange of heat will occur. Also, some materials conduct heat better than others, and this affects the sensation of coolness as well.If you heat up a piece of marble and a piece of granite to the same temperature (higher than your body temperature), polished marble will probably feel warmer than polished granite.Finally, granite and marble are both types of stone :)See Why_do_marble_flooring_feels_cold_to_touchfor another good answer.

Choosing A Granite Counter Top?
Trying to decide whether or not to use granite counter tops in your kitchen? Granite is really popular right now, but that doesn’t necessarily make it the best option for everyone’s kitchen remodel. Before you go out and choose a granite slab for your counter it is important to understand the benefits and problems associated with using granite in your kitchen. Read on for information about why granite may or may not work for you and how to choose the right slab of granite if you decide to use the material. Positives of Granite Several properties of granite make it great for using as a kitchen counter top. Because the stone is non-porous, it won’t catch bacteria like some other materials you might use for a counter. Granite is also easy to clean, and it comes in a wide variety of colors that can help it look good with almost any color scheme. Granite has a great luxury feel due to the variety and uniqueness in the stone, and it doesn’t loose color as it gets older. Granite is great for using in the kitchen because it is difficult to scratch or damage with heat, and using soap and water won’t hurt it at all. Problems with Granite Unfortunately, while there are many positives to using granite for your kitchen counter, there are some negatives associated with the stone as well. Many people who choose granite for their counter tops choose a slab based on beautiful veining that helps the stone look unique and interesting even though this veining can make the stone fragile and prone to cracks. Granite does cost quite a bit, and the uniqueness of an individual piece makes it impossible to replace part of a counter with something that will match. One lesser known problem that some granite may have is actually a health risk. Most granite is just fine, but some granite that tends to be in the red set of shades may actually emit a little bit of Radon, a gas that causes cancer. It is important to weigh the pros and cons of granite counter tops when you plan the remodel for your kitchen. If you decide to go with granite or granite overlay for your counter, consider a piece in a cool color with as little veining as possible.
How is granite manufactored?
Generally, granite countertops go through several processes, to change the undressed slab of rock into the beautiful piece of stonework on your kitchen counter. Cutting the stones requires precision that human hands simply are not capable of. For this reason, stone-cutting saws are usually computer-aided.
