what traits should i looks for to pick out the best granite for counter tops? would you pick out any other rocks before granite for that purpose?



Excellent question.

It depends on what colors you like and other factors. I prefer pegmatitic granite because you can see all the minerals and they are huge so there's no set mixed pattern. It's great to stare at. I also like gneiss.

Here's lame names...



You have to ask for the rock type, not the lame names.

The granite in my kitchen and 4 of my bathrooms look like that castor brown picture.

I have a friend who is a geologist. Unfortunately, he took his wife for granite and she left him! :rimshot:
