Yes, granite does have natural pits and fissures depending on the stone. The amount of pits and fissures also depend on the quality of stone. There are three grades of stone, commercial, standard and premium. Commercial is usually used as exterior cladding & in commercial buildings. A standard quality stone can usually be found in most stone shops, however, it can be very time consuming to fill all the pits and fissures. At Keystone Granite, we work with premium stone where there are less pits and fissures. There are stones in which some degree pitting and/or fissures are unavoidable and therefore, acceptable.
