A granite hearth is beneficial for homeowners and residents in various ways. For instance, they're nice to look at and hold heat fairly well. Plus, they increase the value of a home.

The specific heat capacity of granite is approximately 0.19 J/g°C. This means that it takes 0.19 joules of energy to raise the temperature of 1 gram of granite by 1 degree Celsius.
Granite counter tops aare not sensitive to the heat normally associated with their use in kitchens. A hot pan will not affect them.
When granite is subjected to heat and pressure, it undergoes a process called metamorphism and can transform into a metamorphic rock called gneiss. The mineral composition and texture of the granite change during this process, resulting in a foliated texture and alignment of minerals in the gneiss.

When granite is subjected to enough heat and pressure, it becomes a metamorphic rock called gneiss.
It is generally safe to put hot pans on granite countertops, as granite is heat resistant. However, sudden extreme temperature changes can potentially cause the granite to crack or discolor over time. It is recommended to use trivets or hot pads to protect the granite surface from direct heat exposure.
