Q.After installing a solid slab of granite countertop it was covered by brown paper to protect it during the rest of the renovation. When the paper was removed two months later there was a green stain about 3" in diameter. Another smaller green spot appeared on the other side. The granite installer tried acetone, toulene, and lacquer thinner to remove it without success. Now they have applied poultices to the green areas. What is causing the green stains?
