black granite top with etch mark

Hi, I hope you can help me. I purchased a vanity with a black granite galaxy top. i have had it approx 1.5 years. I recently noticed a ring and several drops in the stone which appears to be from a jewelry cleaner that was on the vanity. I tried lemon juice, lightly rubbing with brillo, the granite cleaner i have and nothing works. can you recommend something to me or did what i do make it worse? I love the vanity and the top was made with it, i do not want it to be stained. Also, from reading your site, i know now not to seal any black granite. is this correct or is it just galaxy? Thank you.

 

Dear Ann Marie:

No black “granite” (Black Galaxy included) can be technically sealed. That said, what you have is a mark of corrosion that the particular acidity of the jewelry cleaner have caused by becoming in contact with your stone's surface.

Only a proven stone restoration professional could repair that kind of surface damage.
