Butterfly Blue Granite

I have read a lot on your site about dark granite, I purchased a Butterfly Blue Granite which is yet to be installed. The store has told me that it will be sealed, does this type of granite need to be sealed, given some of what I have read on your website, I would think not. Can you give me your thoughts please?
 

Dear Bonny:

 

does this type of granite need to be sealed,

 

Absolutely not! Just tell your fabricator in no uncertain terms to go seal his sister granite and, while he is at it, tell him also to try to learn what kind of stone Butterfly Blue actually is, instead of granite.

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!
