The stone that is used to build fountains are either igneous or metamorphic rock. Igneous rocks form through volcanic activity, and metamorphic rocks form under intense heat and pressure. Both types of rock are extremely hard and feature unique, colorful patterns. This makes them an ideal building material for decorative forms.
Stone water fountains made from granite are one example. An igneous rock, granite occurs in a broad spectrum of colors. Granite can be sanded and polished. It can also be sculpted in its raw form. Unpolished granite looks very rough, but it works well with eclectic design. In most projects, granite fountains are polished to a high sheen to reinforce a sense of sophistication, luxury, and grace.
