absolute black granite |

We had our kitchen counter top replaced with absolute black granite counter top but from what we saw from the show room to what was installed, it seems like a different color/variation of granite. The counter top sample we saw had no specs of golden/gray dots randomly distributed thought out the counter top but ours did. To my understanding no two slabs are the same but all 4 pieces of my counter tops have these specs. Did I get what I paid for? or is this the variation of "absolute black Granite?" Also some area of the counter top has a slight discoloration/dullness under bright lights, can I fix it? ... Please advise how I should deal with these problems or am I over reacting. Thanks, Sarah
Dear Sarah:
You're not over reacting.
First off, legally only the black “granite” coming from a specific quarry in
What you got is probably Black Galaxy, a Norite from
So why should they give you a more expensive stone instead of what you saw at the show-room?
Well, unless you believe in Santa, there must be something fishy about it…
Two of your sentences bother me:
It may be too early to call foul, but, all things considered and to stay on the safe side, you should refuse the countertop and demand to have the very some type of stone that you saw in display. Variations can be accepted, but a different stone altogether, no.
May I ask you now to please read and e-sign our Statement of Purpose at:
