Can Granite Countertops Be White?

What Makes Granite White?

Typically, granite is composed of quartz and feldspar as the main minerals. The black specs in white granite are called amphibole. So what you get as white granite is a bright off-white or darker off-white granite. The balance of minerals determines the overall color of the granite piece. Pure white granite has at least a small amount of colored minerals.

Types of White Granite Countertops

There are many types of white granite countertops in Orlando. Let’s look at some popular types:

Alaska White comes from Brazil and has a dazzling blend of cool and warm colors, including deep onyx, rich cocoa, frosty white, and icy silver.  The design features a slight movement with moderate color, tone, granularity, and pattern variations.
