I strongly agree with everyones post so far. (great info) This is what i really like about natural stone, Not all slabs have the same inherent quality's. They might have the same name, it might even look the same to you when you first get it ? But after having in your home for a while, you'll notice how difference it really is when seeing another slabs like yours . Which make your slab a one of a kind !!! Unlike the man made stuff theirs a good chance that your neighbor will have the same exact counter top & back splash as you do.
