Granite is a more durable stone; therefore, it is advisable that it be used in the kitchen. Granite is also impervious to heat. You could place a hot pan on it to no ill effect. Marble is far easier to scratch and is affected by acidic substances, such as ketchup. These acidic substances cause a chemical reaction which will remove the polish. However, with proper precautions, such as diligent sealing, marble may be used in the kitchen.
