chipping wheere granite edge meets undermount sink

I have an undermount sink and the granite makes a sharp 90 degree drop at the point of the undermount sink. I have found several chips in that area caused by the slight bumping of a glass or dish. Is my seaweed green granite to blame or should I have chosen to have the grantie bullnosed at the point of the undernount sink
 

Dear Mary:

 

or should I have chosen to have the granite bullnosed at the point of the under mount sink

 

You got it! J

But it's not too late: your fabricator should be able to do it on location for you.

Now remember, it's never too early to think about the proper maintenance of your stone. The issue of what you'll be doing day in and day out to your stone is – as it should be intuitive – vastly more important than its sealing (if and when possible and/or advisable) and it's all too often neglected. As you can tell by reading many of this site's postings, you're not likely to get good information about routine care from your dealer or installer. Don't become another statistic!
