Juparana Earth & Gold - advice

We are considering Juparana Earth & Gold granite. I plan to perform the lemon test but wonder if you would recommend this stone for our heavily used kitchen or if there is a better choice in a similarly colored granite. Thanks!
 

Dear Karen:

To find out if those two stones are suitable, I would have to run my own little lemon juice (and oil) test myself!... J

If the slabs are a good grading and the fabrication and installation are done right, after evaluating the results of the test you shouldn't have any problem.

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! By logging into the Helpful Hints section of our website at:   http://www.mbstone.com/HH_promo/helpful_hints.htm , you will be able to get the short version of our maintenance guidelines at no charge. The full version of it – a 7-page document considered by many as an industry benchmark – is available in pay-per-download format in our Educational Literature section at:   http://www.mbstone.com/literature/literature.htm .  

And remember, every single penny of the cost of the literature will be used to support this site and its cause: your cause.
