kitchen counter tops

[Anonymous]

I had granite kitchen counter tops installed in November 2005. There is a lot of quartz in the stone. Even thought it is beautiful and shiny, there is a grittiness to the touch when your hand is run over it. I only use soap and water to clean it and I had someone come out from the yard to look at it.
He said that nothing was wrong with it, but when I asked him if he had ever seen this before, he said no. I can wipe it thoroughly dry and for a short period of time it feels smooth and then shortly later, it feels gritty again. Have you ever heard of this before.

What type of granite is it?

Would this be New Venetian Gold ?

So when will we know more

If you would like to post a picture that would help.

I have seen this on New Venetian Gold before. Just about no matter what you do to the stone it will always feel like this. I usually try to sway my customers away from this stone because of this but sometimes what a customer wants is what they want. Unfortunately, you should have researched the granite more before your purchase.

Top Shop, we can only assume that the stone is Venetian Gold.
A picture would be nice.
This guess is not the same guest that posted the first question.
I hope this guess can appreciate the fact that we are not in the habit of dispensing advice with out the facts.
