Granite is basically an igneous rock which is hard and durable. It is shiny and stain resistant. Granite may be a bit expensive than other stones but the advantage over-rule the monetary consideration.

Granite can be used at different places like kitchen and bathroom worktops: the kitchen is a place prone to stains and spillage. As granite is resistant to stains and can be cleaned easily, thus it is suitable for kitchen. The bathroom has a lot of water usage. Other building materials can rot easily except granite.

Fireplace: granite is formed due to heat thus it is heat resistant and can endure a lot of heat. Therefore it is a suitable stone for fireplace and mantle.

Floors: granite is hard and can sustain

Thus, if you are looking for a long lasting building material then there is nothing better than granite.
