Author: resnikSubject: Purchasing granite questionsPosted: 04 Jan 2010 at 11:18pmIm preparing to shop for granite for a kitchen island that is 11 feet long. It appears from what Ive read that I will have difficulty finding a continuous piece of stone of that dimension. Question 2 has to deal with the fact that I was hoping to purchase a piece of stone that was a work of art. Photos of Solarius, Lapidus Gold, and Louisa blue are the kinds of stones I was looking for. Would these be inappropriate as the veins are too porous? Thanks you.
