Why is granite cool to the touch and wood cabinets are not though they are in the same room at the same temperature and is the granite countertop really cooler?

Granite has a higher specific heat than wood, therefore it takes more energy to raise the temperature of granite than wood. Resting your hand on the counters allows heat from your hand to transfer to each counter top, since wood's specific heat is lower it quickly heats up to equilibrium with your hand, while the granite still require more energy to heat up to the same temperature as your hand, thus it feels cool as heat is transfered from you to the granite.
