Frequently Asked Questions

What gives red granite its coloring, and how consistent is the color across a headstone?

Red granite's coloring comes from iron oxide and feldspar content, and consistency can vary somewhat by quarry and even within the same slab, giving each stone a slightly unique pattern.

How does red granite compare in cost to more common granite colors?

Red granite is often priced similarly to or somewhat higher than standard grey granite, depending on availability from the quarry source.

Is red granite as durable as grey or black granite for outdoor use?

Yes — red granite is comparable in hardness and weather resistance to grey or black granite, since durability comes from the stone's density rather than its color.

Does red granite show engraving detail clearly?

Engraving generally shows with good contrast on red granite, particularly with laser engraving for fine detail.
