Granite

We selected the granite for our counter tops. We ordered 7 slabs, each is 9'x6' in size. Granite comes in four different levels. The more grain, or uniqueness, the higher the cost. Level four costs almost three times as much as level one. The level four stuff is awesome and has waves of color and is generally multi colored. If you look closely at the photo, you will see a "darkish" spot in the middle/right hand side. Up close this looks similar to a knot in a piece of wood. It makes the granite look richer and adds color and depth, or so I'm told.

The seven slabs that we ordered came from the same huge piece of granite and are sequential. This means that all seven pieces are virtually the same, just like cutting pieces of wood off of a large tree, It looks great!!!
