Plastic vs. Stone
Corian is acrylic (plastic). Granite is rock.
Heat
Corian: Melts or scorches at high temps. You cannot put a hot pan on it.
Granite: Steel Grey was formed in magma. A hot pan does nothing.
Scratches
Corian: Scratches easily (it's soft plastic), but can be sanded out.
Granite: Difficult to scratch. If you cut on it, you will dull your knife, not the stone.
Verdict: Corian is good for seamless medical counters. Granite is better for kitchens.
