Granite is a natural stone that can withstand very high temperatures. I have granite in my kitchen and can literally take anything out of the oven and place it directly on the granite. I have taken things from the broiler at 550 degrees with no problem! Hope this helps with your question.
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.
Granite has the highest specific heat capacity among lead, copper, iron, and granite. This means that it requires the most energy to raise the temperature of a given amount of granite compared to the other materials.
If granite were subjected to intense heat and pressure, it would likely change to gneiss, a metamorphic rock. Gneiss forms through the recrystallization of minerals in granite under high temperature and pressure conditions.

Gneiss, if the heat and pressure are sufficient.

The temperature is 100o again, and I can not tolerate this heat!
Granite will become gneiss.

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.
The total heat lost by the granite is greater than the total heat gained by the room-temperature water because granite has a higher specific heat capacity, allowing it to store and release more thermal energy as it cools. Additionally, the temperature difference between the granite and the water drives a more significant heat transfer, resulting in more heat being lost by the granite. This imbalance accounts for the greater heat loss from the granite compared to the heat gain experienced by the water.
DONKEY
yes but they might hibernate
Granite counter tops aare not sensitive to the heat normally associated with their use in kitchens. A hot pan will not affect them.
