Salt and Pepper Granite Boulders

What are Salt and Pepper Granite Boulders made of?

Salt and Pepper Granite is a popular rock used in landscaping and indoors. One of the reasons it’s trendy is because it’s found worldwide. It’s readily available to almost anyone looking to make their yard more appealing or eliminate wasted space in their garden with a rock that will tie it all together. Because Salt and Pepper Granite is more accessible than other types of stone, it can also sometimes be cheaper than other popular landscaping boulders.

While composed of mostly granite, there’s more to granite than meets the eye. It’s a beautiful rock that makes up most of the continents on earth. Three things make granite different than other kinds of stones:

1. Granite consists of minerals that are called quartz and feldspar. The different ratios of quartz, feldspar and other minerals in granite give it the classic Salt and Pepper look that looks great in any yard or landscaping feature.
2. A fun fact about granite is that it’s always igneous, forming from lava or molten rock.
3. Granite is made of larger mineral grains that tightly fit together.
