Whois & Analysis for ultrastones.com

Quartz is a hard, crystalline mineral composed of silica (silicon dioxide).

The atoms are linked in a continuous framework of SiO4 silicon–oxygen tetrahedra, with each oxygen being shared between two tetrahedra, giving an overall chemical formula of SiO2.

Quartz is, therefore, classified structurally as a framework silicate mineral and compositionally as an oxide mineral.

Quartz is the second most abundant mineral in Earth's continental crust, behind feldspar.

Granite is a coarse-grained (phaneritic) intrusive igneous rock composed mostly of quartz, alkali feldspar, and plagioclase.

It forms from magma with a high content of silica and alkali metal oxides that slowly cools and solidifies underground.

It is common in the continental crust of Earth, where it is found in igneous intrusions.

These range in size from dikes only a few centimeters across to batholiths exposed over hundreds of square kilometers.

A countertop, also counter top, counter, benchtop, worktop (British English) or kitchen bench (Australian or New Zealand English), bunker (Scottish English) is a raised, firm, flat, and horizontal surface.

They are built for work in kitchens or other food preparation areas, bathrooms or lavatories, and workrooms in general.

The surface is frequently installed upon and supported by cabinets, positioned at an ergonomic height for the user and the particular task for which it is designed.

A countertop may be constructed of various materials with different attributes of functionality, durability and aesthetics, and may have built-in appliances, or accessory items relative to the intended application.

Marble is a metamorphic rock consisting of carbonate minerals (most commonly calcite (CaCO3) or dolomite (CaMg(CO3)2)) that have recrystallized under the influence of heat and pressure.

It has a crystalline texture, and is typically not foliated (layered), although there are exceptions.

Manufacturing is the creation or production of goods with the help of equipment, labor, machines, tools, and chemical or biological processing or formulation.

It is the essence of the secondary sector of the economy.

The term may refer to a range of human activity, from handicraft to high-tech, but it is most commonly applied to industrial design, in which raw materials from the primary sector are transformed into finished goods on a large scale.

Such goods may be sold to other manufacturers for the production of other more complex products (such as aircraft, household appliances, furniture, sports equipment or automobiles), or distributed via the tertiary industry to end users and consumers (usually through wholesalers, who in turn sell to retailers, who then sell them to individual customers).
