        "text": "Granite is a natural stone, mined from quarries, and then cut and polished. Each slab is unique in pattern and color. It's highly durable and heat-resistant but requires periodic sealing. Quartz countertops are engineered products made from natural quartz minerals combined with resins and pigments. They offer consistent patterns, are non-porous, highly resistant to stains and scratches, and do not require sealing, making them very low maintenance. Both are popular choices, differing mainly in composition, uniqueness, and maintenance needs.",
