What is the most durable material for an outdoor fountain?

Granite.

Nothing is as beautiful and durable as a natural stone fountain. We often get asked what type of natural stone is the very best. The answer is Granite. We could elaborate, however if 100's of years isn't enough proof, than what is?

Marble is also an excellent choice and if you prefer to go with an alternative, slightly more refined option. Bronze is also highly recommended. All are plentiful at Fine's Gallery where we have brought the very best of Italy to your doorstep since 1996. You can also find Onyx, Travertine, Limestone and Quartz imported from quarries ranging from France and Italy to China and Africa and everywhere in between.
